What this calculator does

This page applies the IRS backup withholding rate to the gross reportable payments you enter, subtracts any withholding already taken, and splits the remaining amount across future payments. It is a cash-flow check for payers and payees, not a substitute for Form 945 deposits, Form 1099 reporting, or notice-specific tax advice.
