Estimates, not tax advice — your write-offs and credits shift every line. Self-employment tax is usually the surprise: it’s often bigger than income tax.

The IRS’s cut of that

≈ $1,762/mo isn’t yours.

Federal $7,581 + self-employment $13,564 a year — an effective 22% before state tax.

01

Volatile income breaks flat-rate set-asides

Setting aside "30%" of a $40k month and a $4k month treats them the same — the IRS doesn't. Post recalculates your actual bracket as income lands, so a spike month sets aside what the spike actually costs.

02

Brand deals are the real business

Most TikTok money isn't the fund — it's deals. Post tracks every one from intake to paid, chases the invoice when the wire is late, and flags when the amount that lands doesn't match the contract.

03

Gifted product is income (yes, really)

PR hauls count at fair market value, and creators get burned at audit time. Snap the package — Post logs it, values it, and tags whether it's for-content, kept, or returned.

Common questions

Does Post handle Creator Rewards / Creativity Program income?

Yes — connect TikTok and your bank; payouts are recognized and stitched to deposits so your earned-vs-landed picture stays straight.

Do I really owe taxes on PR packages?

Generally yes — gifted product you keep counts as income at fair market value. Post logs it in seconds and keeps the paper trail your CPA wants.

My income swings wildly. Can quarterly estimates keep up?

That's the point of Post's engine — estimates recalculate as money lands, so a viral month immediately moves your set-aside target instead of surprising you in April.
