TaxPocket

TaxPocket is a mobile + web app that estimates your true take-home pay in real time as money moves. Connect your payroll (or manually enter paystubs), bank accounts, and side-income streams, then the app continuously forecasts taxes, refunds/underpayment risk, and quarterly estimated payments. It’s built for people with messy income: multiple jobs, freelancing, commissions, RSUs, and gig work. The app flags when you’re drifting toward a tax surprise, suggests a safe transfer to a “tax vault,” and generates a simple quarterly checklist (what to pay, when, and why). It won’t replace a CPA and it won’t magically find loopholes; it’s a practical guardrail that reduces anxiety and prevents cash-flow shocks. Includes scenario planning (new job, raise, extra freelance month) so users can see the after-tax impact before they commit.
