IRS quarters are not calendar quarters. That is the whole reason this exists.

The four estimated-tax periods are uneven, and they always have been:

- Period 1 — January 1 to March 31, due April 15
- Period 2 — April 1 to May 31, due June 15
- Period 3 — June 1 to August 31, due September 15
- Period 4 — September 1 to December 31, due January 15

Split your year into four even quarters, as most templates quietly do, and you
underpay in June and overpay in January. The penalty is charged per period, so
a big January payment does not undo a short June one.

Every window in this workbook is the real one.

WHAT YOU TYPE
- Your tax year and four rates, once.
- One row per payment you receive, one row per expense you pay.

That is the whole system. The four payments and their due dates work themselves
out as you type.

WHAT IS INSIDE
- Money In and Out — 400 rows with dropdowns for income or expense and
eleven categories. The only tab you type in day to day.
- Quarterly Estimate — the four real periods side by side: income,
expenses, net profit, self-employment tax, income tax, what to send, the due
date, what you have paid and the balance still owing.
- Payments — every payment you make and its confirmation number, matched
back to the period it covers.
- Read Me First — profit so far, the year's estimated tax, and the one
number most people want: what share of every dollar to set aside.

THE SET-ASIDE NUMBER
It divides the year's estimated tax by the year's profit and tells you what to
move into a separate account the day a payment lands. Most people who miss an
estimated payment were not short of money that year — they were short of money
that week.

WHY THERE ARE NO TAX RATES PRINTED IN IT
Because they would be wrong, and you would not know it. Rates and thresholds
move. A number baked into a file sold today goes stale in every copy already
downloaded, so the self-employment rate, the net earnings factor, your federal
estimate and your state rate are four cells you set, with a pointer to irs.gov.
A wrong rate in a tax tool is worse than no rate at all.

A LOSS PERIOD SENDS NOTHING
If a period's expenses beat its income, that period's payment is zero rather
than a negative number. Deliberate — an estimated payment is never a refund
request.

WORKS IN BOTH
Excel and Google Sheets. Drag it into Google Drive and every formula, dropdown
and colour carries over. A detailed PDF quickstart is included, with the period
table and the due dates on one page.

WHY THE GREY CELLS ARE LOCKED
Every calculated cell is protected, because the fastest way to break a tax
estimate is to overwrite a formula and not notice until April. Type in the
yellow cells. No password is set — you can unlock any sheet if you want to.

This is an estimating tool, not tax advice. It does not know about a spouse's
withholding, your deductions, the qualified business income deduction, or the
safe-harbour rules that can cap what you owe. Before your first year of
estimated payments, ask an accountant once, properly.

the help of AI tools, then tested and checked by a person before listing. The
cover and preview images are generated graphics, not photographs.
