Give hours, an hourly rate and a flat tax percent, and get gross pay, an estimated tax figure and net pay, with a half-time premium for hours above 40. A second tool adds up a list of hours and rates into one contractor payout total. It's an estimator for small teams, not a payroll system: there are no tax tables and no payslips.
Made for Small business owners, Solo operators who pay contractors, Bookkeepers
