Estimate self-employment, Social Security, and Medicare taxes for online sellers and resellers.

Part-time sellers, resellers, or individuals running a full-time eBay business are typically considered self-employed, which increases their tax responsibilities. Unlike traditional W-2 employment, where taxes are withheld for employees, self-employed individuals must handle these tasks themselves, including paying the 15.3% self-employment tax that funds the federal programs Social Security and Medicare. Easily and instantly calculate your self-employment tax burden (not state or federal) with this free self-employment tax calculator for eBay professionals from 1-800Accountant, America's leading virtual accounting firm.
