Freelancers have a different tax situation compared to traditional employees. Unlike employees who have taxes withheld from their paycheck, freelancers are responsible for paying estimated taxes throughout the year. This helps avoid a large tax bill at the end of the year. They also need to calculate and pay for self-employment tax, which covers Social Security and Medicare taxes.

Freelancers can deduct many ordinary and necessary business expenses from their taxable income. This can include things like office supplies, equipment, software subscriptions, and travel related to their work.

While not essential, payroll software designed for freelancers can simplify the process. These tools can help track income and expenses, generate invoices, and even automate estimated tax payments. This can save freelancers time and ensure they’re on track with their tax obligations.

Whether a freelancer should use payroll software depends on their individual needs and workload. Payroll software can be a valuable tool for freelancers who want to automate calculations and tax tasks, improve organisation, and gain peace of mind.

Payroll software features for freelancers are designed to help with record-keeping and keeping your business’s financial health in clear view. Some features include income and expense tracking, tax assistance, and timesheet tracking to monitor time spent on different projects.
