About Reese Calloway
Reese Calloway is the editorial byline FreelanceTally's small team uses for its guides on the money side of freelancing: pricing, invoicing, and the U.S. tax numbers that decide how much to set aside.
What this byline covers
Every guide stays in one lane: setting and raising rates, converting a salary into a freelance rate, margins and markups, invoicing and late payments, and estimating U.S. self-employment tax and quarterly payments. The 2026 reference pages are a good place to start:
- 2026 self-employment tax rates, wage base and thresholds
- Freelancer tax deadlines for late 2026 and 2027
- 1099-NEC and 1099-K thresholds for 2026
- State income tax rates for freelancers in 2026
- What employee pay implies for freelance rates in 25 occupations
- How many hours a freelancer can bill: BLS working-hours and paid-leave data
How the guides are checked
Tax figures are taken from the IRS, the Social Security Administration and state revenue departments, and wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Each reference page lists its sources and states the tax year or data period it covers. Worked examples use round sample numbers so the arithmetic can be checked, and each guide links to the calculator that runs the same math, most often the freelance hourly rate calculator or the self-employment tax calculator.
The guides are general information, not personal tax, legal or financial advice, and the byline does not represent a licensed tax professional.
How the tools treat your numbers
Every calculator on this site runs in your browser. Some tools save drafts or scenarios in your browser's local storage so you can return to them; that data stays on your device until you clear it. The privacy policy has the details.
