QuickBooks Self-Employed is gone and its replacements want $10–43 every month. This kit is one payment: an offline estimator whose math you can actually read, the 15-category expense tracker, invoice-ready income records, a mileage log, and the quarterly deadline calendar — all running on your own device. Educational estimates with sources and as-of dates — never a subscription, never a bank connection.
Get the kit — ฿1,490One zip, no install, no account, no bank feed. Open the files and they work — the estimator runs offline in your browser, the trackers open in any spreadsheet app.
Type your projection, get the estimate: SE tax, income-tax base, per-quarter amount, the % to set aside from every invoice, the safe-harbor comparison, and what paying late costs at the pack's interest rate. Every result shows its as-of date and sources.
A CSV with the fifteen write-off categories freelancers actually use, a receipt-reference column, and a plain-language guide that says what belongs where — so year-end is a filter, not an archaeology dig.
One row per invoice with issued/paid dates, currency, fees and net received — the columns a client dispute, a platform audit, or your accountant will ask for, kept as an index card instead of a shoebox.
Date, from/to, business purpose, miles — the fields that make a business trip provable months later, logged the same week so nothing gets reconstructed from memory in April.
An .ics with the four US estimated-tax deadlines (alarms at 14 and 3 days), generic quarter-close reminders, and a one-page checklist that turns "close the quarter" into thirty quiet minutes.
Every threshold, rate and date lives in a readable rule pack with an as-of date and links to the official pages — plus organizer mini-packs for Germany and France with the questions to bring to a local professional.
It estimates and organizes. It does not file, review, or sign anything. Every number is an educational estimate from the figures you enter and the rule pack you can read. The kit tells you on every result screen: confirm with a licensed professional before you act.
Your data stays on your device. No account, no upload, no bank connection — the estimator is an offline HTML file and the trackers are CSVs you keep. Nothing to leak, nothing to subscribe to, nothing that stops working when a server goes away.
Rules change, so the rules are data, not code. When a new tax year moves a date or a rate, you edit a small JSON file — the kit shows you exactly which sources to re-check. The built-in mini-packs for Germany and France deliberately carry no rates at all: those numbers belong to your local professional.
Ten minutes from unzip to your first estimate.
Double-click the HTML file — it runs offline. Read the rule-pack banner: jurisdiction, as-of date, source links. Set your rates; the defaults are conservative placeholders, on purpose.
Copy the three CSVs into your spreadsheet app and give this week's receipts, invoices and trips their rows. Ten minutes on a fixed day — that's the whole discipline.
Keep the estimator's % from every invoice, import the deadline calendar, and run the quarter checklist. Print the estimate and take it to your professional — that's what it's for.
No monthly plan, no per-connection fee, no subscription.

No — and the kit says so on every screen. It is an educational estimator plus record-keeping templates. It does not file returns, does not review or sign anything, and does not know your full situation. Use its numbers to organize and prepare, then confirm with a licensed tax professional before you act.
No connection, ever. The estimator is an offline HTML file; the trackers are CSVs that live wherever you keep them. Nothing uploads, nothing syncs, nothing to breach. You transcribe numbers from your statements — ten minutes a week is the whole price of that privacy.
The calculator ships with a US-federal rule pack (thresholds, SE tax, quarterly dates, safe harbor — each with an as-of date and source links) and organizer mini-packs for Germany and France that carry deadlines and preparation questions but deliberately no rates. For any jurisdiction, the rule pack is an editable JSON: verify the numbers on the official page, enter them, and the arithmetic is shown.
That is why the rules are a separate, readable file. Each January (and whenever an authority changes a rate mid-year), you re-check the linked sources, update the JSON, and load it into the estimator — a fifteen-minute job the CUSTOMIZE guide walks through. v1.x rule-pack refreshes are free to buyers.
If the kit doesn't fit how you work, email the support address within 14 days of purchase and you get a full refund — the files are yours to keep or delete. One refund per purchase; we only ask for optional feedback.
For bookkeeping, yes — and for internal alerts we'd point you at them. But the free tiers stop where this kit starts: a quarterly estimator whose math you can read, tied to records you own, with deadlines and the honest scope of what a template may say. It is one payment for the year's paperwork spine, not another subscription to cancel.
