I am beginning a contract job next month and want to know how much money to set aside each month for taxes?

Hi Jacobmx,

As a self-employed individual, generally you are required to file an annual return and pay estimated tax quarterly. Before you can determine if you are subject to self-employment tax and income tax, you must figure your net profit or net loss from your business. You do this by subtracting your business expenses from your business income

Estimated tax is the method used to pay tax on income that is not subject to withholding (for example, earnings from self-employment, interest, dividends, rents, alimony, etc.). Use Form 1040-ES to figure and pay your estimated tax

Hope this helps,
