Not sure if you’re setting aside enough for taxes? You’re not alone. A simple rule of thumb: start by setting aside 25–30% of your net income (that’s what you earn after expenses, not total revenue).
From there, you can fine-tune based on your business structure, income level, and state requirements, but this range is a solid starting point for many business owners. If you want to go a step further, try setting aside your tax portion every time you get paid. Treat it like it’s not yours to spend, and you’ll avoid the last-minute scramble when quarterly payments are due.
A little consistency now can save a lot of stress later! 👏🏼
