Good to know that theres 2 different kind! Actually, its a hobby as a side gig and not business. And I rather pay estimated taxes quarterly if needed to, so that i don't owe taxes at the end. If don't pay 15% as self employed, how can i find out the taxes for federal, fica and the state? Unless the federal goes by tax bracket which again is easy to figure out and the state is 3.75% since it's under $76,000
If the state has a flat rate then it has a flat rate, easy enough.
For federal, you can try this calculator.

(If you already get a refund, and depending on the amount you actually earn, you might not need to pay estimates at all if the refund will cover it.)
Federal tax brackets are here. Remember that is for your taxable income, so you start by subtracting your itemized or standard deduction. And this does not account for the dependent credit, which has a significant effect on your rates as well.
