Set Aside: Freelance Tax

Every freelancer knows the panic: a client pays you, and you have no idea how much of it is actually yours once tax season arrives. Set Aside answers that one question instantly — how much of this money should I keep for taxes?

Log the payments you receive and the expenses you pay, pick your tax set-aside rate, and Set Aside shows you a single, honest number: what to move aside so tax time is never a surprise. It also tracks your real profit and breaks your year down quarter by quarter.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT

• One number that matters — a big, clear "set aside for taxes" figure based on your income so far this year.
• Real profit at a glance — this quarter's income, expenses, and profit in simple cards.
• Quarterly estimates — Q1 to Q4 breakdown of income, deductible expenses, taxable profit, and tax to set aside.
• Fast entry — add income or an expense in seconds, with sensible categories for client work, products, software, equipment, travel, and fees.
• Filterable history — view transactions by quarter and by income or expense, with running totals.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your numbers never leave this phone. There is no account, no sign-up, and no cloud sync. Everything you enter is stored only on your device. Uninstall the app and it's gone. The only data that ever leaves your phone is what our ad provider needs to show ads.

FREE AND OFFLINE

Set Aside is free and works completely offline — no connection required to track anything. It is supported by a small banner ad.

A NOTE ON TAXES

Set Aside is a planning tool, not professional tax advice. The estimates are a simple, conservative guide to help you save enough. For filing, always check with a qualified tax professional in your country.
