I have 4 jobs which are W2 and i got a refund last year with those. I am adding a 1099 job and need to know how much to set aside. Is there a way to do a calculator to estimate how much i will owe? I read i need to set aside 35%. How does that work? I can pay towards the taxes as often as i get paid? That would be ideal. I am not sure how the combination of W2 and 1099 will work.

Self Employment tax (Scheduled SE) is automatically generated if a person has $400 or more of net profit from self-employment. You pay 15.3% SE tax on 92.35% of your Net Profit greater than $400. The 15.3% self employed SE Tax is to pay both the employer part and employee part of Social Security and Medicare. So you get social security credit for it when you retire. You do get to take off the 50% ER portion of the SE tax as an adjustment on 1040 Schedule 1 line 27. The SE tax is already included in your tax due or reduced your refund. It is on the 1040 Schedule 4 line 57 which goes to 1040 line 14. The SE tax is in addition to your regular income tax on the net profit.
You can pay quarterly estimated payments on 1040ES.
You must make quarterly estimated tax payments for the current tax year if both of the following apply:
- 1. You expect to owe at least $1,000 in tax for the current tax year, after subtracting your withholding and credits.
- 2. You expect your withholding and credits to be less than the smaller of:
90% of the tax to be shown on your current year’s tax return, or
100% of the tax shown on your prior year’s tax return. (Your prior year tax return must cover all 12 months).
To prepare estimates for next year you start with your current return, but be careful not to change anything. For Online returns, if you can't get back into your return, Click on Add a State to let you back into your retun.
You can just type W4 in the search box at the top of your return , click on Find. Then Click on Jump To and it will take you to the estimated tax payments section. Say no to changing your W-4 and the next screen will start the estimated taxes section.

The 1040ES quarterly estimates are due April 15, 2019, June 17, Sept 16 and Jan 15, 2020. And don't forget your state. Go to the end of the state section, probably under Other Tax Situations
Or your W2 withholding might be enough to cover the self employment tax. Or you can maybe increase your withholding to cover it.
