Found a simple tax calculator tool that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out

Hey dev.to 👋

Tax season always hits different when you're freelancing or running a side project. I used to dread opening spreadsheets and trying to figure out estimated taxes.

Recently found this tool called TaxFlow → tax.flowingpulse.com

It's pretty straightforward:

  • Plug in your income/expenses, it calculates your tax estimate
  • No account needed to try it
  • Doesn't try to upsell you on "premium features" every 5 seconds
  • Clean UI, no 15 pages of questions before you see anything useful

What I appreciate:

  • Made for people who actually do their own taxes (freelancers, indie devs, contractors)
  • Doesn't feel like TurboTax's ugly cousin
  • Fast — you can get an estimate in under 2 minutes

Not saying it replaces a real accountant for complex situations — but for getting a rough idea of what you owe? Works for me.

Anyone else use lightweight tools for tax stuff, or am I just weirdly excited about this?
