As a Private Chef in California, what would be the total % for the state and the total % federally?
There's no singe answer. Federal tax rates are 10%-36% depending on income level. California's income tax rate is up to 13%, depending on income level, and also depends on whether you will be filing as single, married, or head of household.

You will pay the same income tax whether you are a salaried employee or self-employed independent contractor.
