The Problem

Two problems. One app.

Traditional budget apps break when income fluctuates. Traditional tax apps ignore your day-to-day spending. We fix both.

The Tax Nightmare

  • Surprise IRS bills every April
  • Manual receipt sorting on Sundays
  • Paying $129+ for TurboTax just to prep
  • Missing quarterly deadlines & paying penalties

The Cash Flow Mystery

  • Big months vs. painfully slow ones
  • Afraid to spend your "extra" money
  • Bank balance lies because taxes are hiding in it
  • "Where did it all go?" every single month

Simple Setup

Up and running in 5 minutes.

Connect once. Let ChillTax handle the rest. Check your dashboard anytime.

What Freelancers Say

Real humans, real results.

Built for independent workers, tested by people who’ve felt the quarterly tax panic firsthand.

“I used to dread April like a dentist appointment. ChillTax just handles it. I set it up once and now I get a notification when it's time to pay. My accountant was genuinely impressed.”

M

Marcus T.

Freelance Graphic Designer

“The ‘Cleared to Spend’ feature changed everything. My bank balance said $8,000, but $3k of that was earmarked for taxes I didn't even realize. Saved me from a very bad decision.”

S

Sarah K.
