Meaning, then the identity

SE tax means the result of the identity on the SE tax calculator. Multiply net earnings by 0.9235 for the tax base, then multiply that base by 0.153. The deductible half is one half of the tax.

Not a recommendation

A meaning is not a plan. Educational material, not financial advice. The what-is page is the companion wording.
