Context and how to use this
Many self-employed practitioners set aside a percentage of profits until January and July payments. This multiplies monthly profit by your chosen set-aside rate.
It is not HMRC’s calculator and knows nothing about other income, allowances, or payment on account rules.
Common questions
- What percentage should I use?
- Ask your accountant; effective rates vary widely with profit level and other income.
- Limited company?
- This page targets self-employment-style cash planning, not corporation tax or dividends.
