You just got a deal. What's actually yours?
Enter a number. See what to set aside for taxes, what not to spend, and what's genuinely free to use. Nothing is saved — refresh the page and it's gone.
Your numbers
The gross — the full amount before anything comes out.
$
Money you spent to earn it — travel, equipment, fees. Leave blank if unsure.
$
Job wages, other work — anything else taxable. Helps estimate your bracket.
$
Rough is fine. If your deals cross state lines, a CPA sorts the details.
What's yours
Enter your NIL income and your answer appears here — with the full breakdown, so you can check the math.
This is a conservative estimate for education — not tax advice. It assumes NIL earned as self-employment income, a single filer, and approximate current-year figures, and it rounds up on purpose. Your real number depends on your full situation. When in doubt, reserve more, and have a CPA confirm it before you file. We don't see or save anything you type here.
Do this week
Three moves, before the money moves you.
01
Open a separate account for taxes
Money you can see is money you'll spend. Give the reserve its own place.
02
Move the reserve there first
Before anything fun, before anyone's percentage. The number above, out of reach.
03
Keep every piece of paper
Every contract, every payment. Your future tax self will thank you.
When you're ready for more
Most athletes don't need a wealth manager on day one.
They need a system, a tax plan, and someone honest to check the big decisions against. When your deals add up — recurring income, revenue share, going pro — the same five moves scale with you, and we're here for the parts arithmetic can't settle.
