Updated for 2026 (Filing 2025 Taxes)
Last Updated: January 4, 2026
The gig economy is booming, but the tax code was not built for it. For decades, tax law was designed for traditional W-2 employees. This leaves millions of drivers, freelancers, creators, and hosts confused, overwhelmed, and at risk of overpaying the IRS.
We saw hardworking people losing their hard-earned money simply because they did not know the specific deductions they were legally entitled to.
GigTaxCalc was built to bridge that gap. Our mission is to simplify the complex world of self-employment taxes into plain English. We are a collective of gig economy enthusiasts and finance researchers dedicated to helping every gig worker maximize their legal deductions and keep more of their money.
To empower every self-employed individual with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate their taxes with confidence.
Best,
The GigTaxCalc Team
