Quarterly Estimates

Quarterly Estimates

The IRS expects four payments a year. Amadae computes each one from your actual income as it happens, so you never overpay, underpay, or open a five-figure surprise in April.

EVERYTHING INCLUDED

Everything you need to never guess again

Real-time calculation

Income and self-employment tax computed from your actual year-to-date numbers, not last year's return.

Adjusts every quarter

A strong month moves the number up, a slow one moves it down. You always pay what you actually owe.

Safe harbor protection

Every recommendation is checked against the safe harbor rules so penalties never sneak in.

Federal and state together

State estimates tracked on the same schedule as federal, with every deadline shift already applied.

Cash flow you can plan

Reminders arrive early enough to plan cash around the payment, not scramble the night before.

Deductions included

Deductible spending reduces the estimate automatically, so you never prepay tax on money you already spent.

Live numbers

Computed from your books, not January's guess

  • Every payment runs on your real ledger, updated daily
  • Income tax and self-employment tax computed together
  • Recalculated the moment income or spending changes

I used to pay the same flat number four times a year because that's what my accountant gave me in January. The first quarter with Amadae, the real number was $4,000 lower and it was right.
