How much to hold back for taxes?

I was told a good rule of thumb is to hold back 20 to 25% in taxes. My question is, is that per job, monthly, etc.? Should I be holding back more? If this has already been discussed before, I apologize.

I’ve been told the same… to put aside 23-25% of every assignment, that way in tax season I have the money ready for Uncle Sam.

Great, thank you. Nice to know we have been told the same thing.

unc don’t really need it. :yum:

True :unamused: still we have to give his share :frowning:

I’m saving 35% so I have plenty for reg taxes and self employment tax. Oh, to add, that’s per job. And, if you’re self-employed, be sure to pay your estimate let quarterly taxes!
