Shipped a 100% Free, Signup-Free 1099 Tax Engine after getting mad at lead-gen walls

by 1099savvy

Hey hackers,

I was trying to estimate my quarterly 1099 taxes last week and got incredibly frustrated. Every single "free" online calculator out there forced me to enter my email or create an account just to see basic financial math. On top of that, most haven't updated their tax brackets for 2026.

So, I built 1099Savvy — a 100% free, signup-free, privacy-first tax calculator that runs entirely on client-side JS. No tracking, no databases.

We just launched on Product Hunt today! I'm doing this to prove that extreme user goodwill can disrupt predatory marketing funnels.

Would love your honest feedback on the chart reactivity, and if you like the "No-BS" philosophy, I'd appreciate your support on our PH page: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/1099savvy
