If you're self-employed or run a business, taxes are easier when you set the money aside as you earn it, instead of finding it all at once when a payment is due. In Sequence, you can route a slice of every dollar into a dedicated Taxes Pod automatically, so the money's waiting when you need it.

Create a Pod and name it Taxes. It's a real checking account that keeps your tax money separate from your spending, so you never accidentally treat it as income you can use.

See Adding and Deleting a Pod.

Set up a rule that sends a percentage of your income to the Taxes Pod. Many people set aside somewhere between 25 and 30 percent, but pick the number that fits your situation.

See Rule Triggers and Action Types to build it.

If your income lands in a Sequence Income Source, the split happens the moment you get paid, before the money mixes with anything else. That's the cleanest way to run this, and it means your take-home and your tax set-aside are separated instantly.

See Intro to Income Sources.

When it's time to pay, your Taxes Pod already holds what you set aside. You can send it straight to your tax authority or move it wherever it needs to go, no last-minute scramble.
