Budgeting for Taxes Monthly NJ | No More April Panic

Budgeting for Taxes Monthly NJ — A Smarter Way to Plan

Tax season doesn’t have to mean stress. When you practice budgeting for taxes monthly NJ-style, you turn tax time into just another routine business task — predictable, paid for, and under control.


Step 1: Know Your Tax Rates

For most NJ small businesses, you’ll owe a combination of:

  • Federal income tax (10 – 37 %)

  • NJ income or corporate tax (5.5 – 9 %)

  • Self-employment tax (15.3 %)

  • Local or payroll taxes

Your CPA can help estimate your blended effective rate.


Step 2: Set Aside Each Month

Create a separate “Tax Savings” account and transfer a percentage of revenue every month (usually 20–30 %).

That way, your estimated quarterly taxes are already funded.


Step 3: Automate Transfers

Most banks or QuickBooks allow scheduled sweeps — set it and forget it. Seeing tax cash grow instead of disappear builds confidence.


Step 4: Use Real-Time Reports

Run a Profit & Loss by Month report to track profitability and tax liability trends. Tie this into your monthly close process.
