Gumroad + Stripe net profit quarterly tax set-aside estimate (without a $17 Google Sheet)

Solo Gumroad sellers hit the same wall every quarter: payouts look healthy in the dashboard, but you still don't know how much to set aside for estimated taxes after platform fees and refunds.

SellerLedger on Gumroad ($17) ships a Quarterly Set-Aside Estimator tab — enter net income plus a self-employment rate you configure, get an estimated quarterly payment. Same module is listed under WHAT'S INSIDE on their checkout and on their gh-pages landing (Tax Estimator tab).

Planning tool only. Not tax advice. Consult a tax professional for your situation.

Why net profit matters more than gross revenue

Gumroad and Stripe CSV exports include fee rows. If you set aside 28% of gross revenue, you over-save. If you wing it from memory, April surprises you.

The estimator needs one number: net profit after fees and refunds — then multiply by your configured rate.

One CLI run → set-aside estimate

python3 seller_ledger.py gumroad-sample.csv stripe-sample.csv -o ledger.csv --tax-rate 0.28
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example stdout (sample data):

Gross revenue:   131.00
Platform fees:   7.08
Net profit:      104.92
Set-aside @28%: 29.38
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Change --tax-rate to match what you and your accountant use (self-employment + income tax combined, or a conservative buffer).

US quarterly estimated payment dates (2026)

Quarter Due date
Q1 (Jan–Mar) April 15
Q2 (Apr–May) June 15
Q3 (Jun–Aug) September 15
Q4 (Sep–Dec) January 15 (next year)

Run the CLI after each month's CSV export. The set-aside line tells you what to move to a separate account — same shape as Orion's Tax Estimator tab, without maintaining spreadsheet formulas.
