What's inside
Eleven tabs. Nothing filler.
01
Instructions
A color-coded legend and tab-by-tab guide walks you through every part of the workbook, so setup takes minutes, not a support email.
02
Dashboard
Your financial snapshot — revenue, profit, tax reserve, and what needs attention. Updates automatically as you log income and expenses.
03
Trends
Charts compare revenue vs expenses by month, show where the money goes by category, and track tax-reserve progress.
04
Income
Enter Date Sent when you invoice and Date Received when payment lands. Aging, cash owed, cash-basis revenue, and Avg Days to Payment stay separate.
05
Expenses
Every row gets a category and a deductibility you pick (full / 50% meals / partly business). The Dashboard and Monthly Review count any expense of $75 or more still missing its receipt — the IRS level for travel, meals, gifts and car costs.
06
Paste Zone
Have expenses in another spreadsheet, app or a card export? Paste the rows here and one menu click moves them to Expenses, matching common category words to ours. Rows it can't place stay put with the reason; nothing already on Expenses is changed.
07
Mileage Log
Log trips and the deduction calculates itself at the IRS standard mileage rate for each trip's date; each month's total flows to Expenses on its own.
08
Tax Set-Aside
Know what to reserve for estimated taxes from your profit so far, in three numbered steps — federal and state side by side. An estimate, not your tax bill.
09
Monthly Review
A short end-of-month check-in: the totals fill themselves and you answer five questions.
10
Ask Gemini
Optional AI tab built into the sheet. Ask a category question in plain English — "Is this client gift deductible?" The assist, not the authority.
11
Category Reference
Every Expenses category shows its Schedule C line, a link to the current website rule, and the current tax-year stamp.
Why trust the numbers
Not a credential. A mechanism.
The citation gate
Every tax figure in this workbook is checked by an automated citation gate before it ships. When the IRS retires a publication, the build fails. That's a rule enforced on every release, not a claim you can fake with a good bio.

The self-employment tax, in three numbers
What you owe the IRS, and why.
The federal side, sourced straight to the IRS — no advice, no guessing.
15.3%
The self-employment tax rate — 12.4% Social Security + 2.9% Medicare — on top of income tax, and separate from it.
92.35%
The share of net profit the 15.3% is actually charged on, via Schedule SE — not the full profit.
$400
Net profit under $400: you owe nothing. $400 or over: SE tax applies to the whole amount, not just what's over $400.
All three are federal only. Your state adds its own income tax on top — some states charge none, some a flat rate, some a graduated rate that rises with what you earn.

The moment it earns its keep: the Tax Set-Aside tab shows you the number to send the IRS — before it's due, not after. It also shows the safe-harbor minimum, the amount that keeps you clear of an underpayment penalty even if this year turns out bigger than last.
