Terms of Use & Tax Disclaimer
1. Acceptance of These Terms
By using SelfEmpTaxCalc.com (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the calculators or content. These terms work alongside our separate Disclaimer and Privacy Policy, which also govern your use.
2. The Tool Is Provided "As Is"
Every calculator on the Site runs entirely in your browser and returns estimates only. The figures are built from IRS publications and official state rates for the 2026 tax year, but they are approximations meant to help you plan — not exact amounts you can file. We provide the Site "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied.
3. Estimates, Not Professional Advice
Nothing on the Site is tax, legal, or financial advice. We are not a tax firm, and no communication with us creates a client relationship. The right answer depends on facts we cannot know — your entity type, residency, prior-year income, and personal circumstances. Always confirm your return with a licensed CPA or enrolled agent, especially in a year involving entity formation, a large income swing, or multi-state work.
4. Your Responsibility to Verify
You are responsible for reviewing every result against the controlling IRS form or publication before you rely on it, and for filing the correct forms (Schedule C, Schedule SE, Form 1040-ES, and any state returns) on time. Tax laws change, and while we re-check thresholds each season, we cannot guarantee every number is current or error-free for your specific situation.
5. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SelfEmpTaxCalc.com and its developers disclaim all warranties and are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site — including, for example, an underpayment penalty caused by relying on an estimate. You use the Site at your own risk.
6. Intellectual Property
The Site's text, calculators, and design are owned by SelfEmpTaxCalc.com and may not be copied, resold, or republished without permission. IRS forms and publications remain the property of the U.S. government.
7. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms at any time. The "Last updated" date below reflects the most recent revision, and continued use of the Site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Last updated: July 2026
Calculator Outputs Are Estimates
Results depend on the inputs you provide and the rate tables we publish. They are starting points for planning, not filed returns or tax advice. You are responsible for verifying accuracy and meeting filing deadlines.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SelfEmpTaxCalc is not liable for any decision made using this site, including underpayment penalties, interest, or filing errors. The cost of professional review is modest compared with tax penalties — factor it in for anything complex.
Third-Party Links
Links to IRS.gov, state agencies, and related tools are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites, and a link is not an endorsement.
Acceptable Use
You agree to use the calculators and content for lawful, personal planning purposes only. Do not attempt to disrupt, scrape at scale, or reverse-engineer the site, and do not rely on outputs as filed tax returns.
Intellectual Property
All original text, design, and code are © SelfEmpTaxCalc.com. You may link to our pages and quote short excerpts with attribution, but you may not republish large portions of the site without permission.
No Tax, Legal, or Financial Advice
The calculators provide estimates only. They are not a substitute for professional advice from a CPA, enrolled agent, or attorney. You are responsible for verifying figures and filing correctly.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the "last reviewed" date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
