Why We Built This

Comparing 1099 vs W-2 is hard. Most calculators ignore benefits, deductions, and self-employment tax. This one shows the full picture — built by someone who's been on both sides of the contractor/employee decision.

Who Built This

Built and maintained by Tony Reaves II, founder of Toota Industries — a defense industry operator and government contractor who works directly with the Defense Logistics Agency. Tony has navigated the 1099 vs W-2 decision personally and built this calculator to give others the same clarity he needed.
