Your quarterly payment
$4,850
Due Jan 15, 2026
The problem
You're not a W-2 employee. You don't have one boss sending you a single paycheck. Generic tax software wasn't built for your reality.
AdSense, sponsorships, memberships, merch, affiliates—all taxed differently.
Miss a quarterly payment and you'll get hit with penalties. Fun.
Every platform over $600 sends a 1099. Good luck keeping track.
15.3% on top of income tax. That $100K feels like $70K real fast.
“How much should I actually set aside?”
If you've asked yourself this question before every quarterly deadline, you need Creator HQ.
The solution
We understand AdSense payment schedules, Patreon processing fees, and why that brand deal hit your account 6 months late.
Connect your platforms or add income manually. We categorize by source so you always know where money's coming from.
Get quarterly tax estimates that account for federal, state, and self-employment taxes based on your actual numbers.
Get reminders before each quarterly deadline with exactly how much to pay. No more scrambling at the last minute.

No. Creator HQ provides estimates to help you plan, but we're not CPAs or tax attorneys. Always consult a tax professional for your specific situation—especially if you're considering an S Corp or have complex finances.
Our estimates use 2024 federal and state tax brackets, including self-employment tax calculations. They're designed to get you in the right ballpark—most creators find them within 5-10% of their actual tax bill.
Nope. You can manually enter income and expenses if you prefer. Platform connections just make it easier by pulling in your earnings automatically.
Yes! Even if you're making a few hundred dollars a month, understanding quarterly taxes early saves headaches later. Our free plan covers everything you need to get started.
Creator HQ is designed for sole proprietors and single-member LLCs. If you have an S Corp, your tax situation is more complex—you likely need a bookkeeper or CPA. That said, you can still use Creator HQ to track income across platforms.
