Inputs tab (all editable, each with source and date): income tax rate [CONFIRM]; self-employment rate [CONFIRM]; thresholds [CONFIRM]. Warning banner: "Rates must be verified with the tax authority." Sample (fictional rates): income to date 18,000 over 4 months; annualized 54,000; expenses 9,000 annualized; taxable estimate 45,000; at an assumed 25% blended rate (assumption) = 11,250 for the year; per quarter set-aside 2,813; percentage of each invoice to move to the tax account: 20.8% (11,250 / 54,000). Payment tracker: Q1 due 15 April, paid 2,800 on 10 April, remaining 13. Low quarter scenario: income down 30% reduces the estimate; buffer 10%. Questions for an accountant listed.
