You got paid. Now know what you can actually spend.
Tax Pot UK helps sole traders and side-hustlers set money aside for Self Assessment before January panic hits.
Built for UK self-employed people. Not accounting software. Just a simple tax pot.
January should not feel like a jump scare.
You get paid irregularly
Some months are great. Some are quiet. Your tax pot should keep up.
You forget what belongs to HMRC
Every payment feels like income until the bill arrives.
Accounting apps feel too heavy
You do not need a dashboard with 200 features just to know what to park.
Three taps after you get paid.
Log the payment
Enter the amount you just received.
See your tax pot
We estimate what to set aside using simple UK tax assumptions.

A note from the founder: I'm building this because UK tax admin is more confusing than it needs to be. The first version will do one thing well: help you stop spending your tax money by accident.

Frequently asked questions
Is this official HMRC software?
No. Tax Pot UK is an independent budgeting assistant, not an HMRC service.
Does it file my tax return?
No. It helps you estimate and set money aside. You still file through HMRC or your accountant.
Is this accounting software?
No. It is intentionally simpler than accounting software.
Who is it for?
UK sole traders, freelancers and anyone earning self-employed or side income.
Are the figures guaranteed?
No. They are estimates based on the assumptions you enter. Always check your final position with HMRC or an accountant.
