UnifyOne is an earnings and tax tool built for gig and 1099 workers. It tracks what you actually earn across every app, automatically captures your IRS mileage deductions, and alerts you before quarterly estimated taxes are due — so independent contractors can see their real after-expense income and stay ready for tax season.

Is UnifyOne built for gig and 1099 workers?

Yes. UnifyOne is purpose-built for the 76M+ US gig and 1099 workers — rideshare and delivery drivers, couriers, resellers, and independent contractors. It consolidates earnings across the apps you work, calculates your after-expense net income, and keeps your self-employment tax estimates on track.

How does UnifyOne track mileage and tax deductions?

UnifyOne's Tax Autopilot captures your mileage and applies the current IRS standard mileage rate, keeping a running year-to-date deduction total. It also estimates your quarterly self-employment taxes (Form 1040-ES) and alerts you before each estimated-tax deadline so you are never caught off guard.

GigIQ is UnifyOne's shift intelligence. It looks at your earnings history to show which hours, zones, and platforms actually pay the most after expenses, so you can plan your shifts around your highest-earning opportunities instead of guessing.

What is the Money Manager?

The Money Manager brings budgeting, goal tracking, and earnings forecasts together in one place, connected to your real gig income. It helps you forecast cash flow and plan spending around the irregular pay schedule that comes with gig and 1099 work.

Kai is UnifyOne's built-in AI sidekick. You can ask Kai about your earnings, mileage deductions, and quarterly tax estimates, and get answers grounded in your own data rather than generic benchmarks.

How much does UnifyOne cost?

UnifyOne has two plans: Free ($0) with earnings tracking, IRS mileage capture, quarterly estimated-tax alerts, and GigIQ shift insights; and Pro ($4.99/month) which adds the full Money Manager, advanced GigIQ intelligence, and Kai, your AI sidekick.

Is my financial data secure?

Yes. UnifyOne uses TLS encryption in transit and AES-256 at rest, with strict data isolation enforced at the database layer. Your financial data is never sold to third parties.

Financial Intelligence

Financial Intelligence for Independent Gig Workers

W-2 employees get a pay stub that shows gross, deductions, and net. Gig workers get a deposit and a number — with no context, no tax withholding, and no picture of what they actually earned. UnifyOne's AI gives gig workers the same financial clarity that employees take for granted.

What Kai — UnifyOne's AI — does for your finances

📊

Real-time net income calculation

Kai subtracts IRS mileage deductions, estimated fuel costs, and platform fees from every payout to show you true net earnings — not the gross figure gig apps report.

🧾

Live quarterly tax forecast

Kai calculates your SE tax and estimated income tax liability in real time as earnings accumulate. You know your quarterly payment before the due date — not the night before.

📈

Platform earnings comparison

Kai compares your net earnings per hour across every connected platform so you can see which app actually pays more in your specific market and time windows.

⚠️

Earnings pattern alerts

Kai flags when your effective hourly rate drops below a threshold, when a platform's offer-to-earnings ratio shifts, or when your tax exposure accelerates past a target.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is financial intelligence for gig workers?

A real-time picture of your income, expenses, tax liability, and net earnings across every platform simultaneously — going beyond what you earned to understanding why, when, and where you earn best.

How does AI help gig workers manage finances?

AI identifies patterns across earnings data to show which platforms and shifts maximize net income, forecasts quarterly taxes in real time, flags expense trends, and alerts when your effective hourly rate drops.

Why do gig workers need financial intelligence tools?

Gig workers operate like small businesses without a finance team: variable income, no tax withholding, fuel volatility, and IRS mileage tracking requirements. Without real-time visibility, workers routinely underpay quarterly taxes and miss deductions worth thousands.

What is Kai in UnifyOne?

Kai is UnifyOne's AI financial intelligence layer. It aggregates earnings from all connected gig platforms, calculates real net income after mileage and fees, forecasts quarterly taxes, and identifies your highest-value earning patterns in real time.

How do I budget with irregular gig income?

Budget from a baseline — a typical slow week or trailing average — rather than your best weeks, and move surplus from strong weeks into a buffer that smooths the slow ones. Build the plan around net pay after taxes and vehicle costs, not gross deposits. Educational information, not financial advice.

How much should I save for taxes as a gig worker?

Many gig workers set aside about 25–30% of net earnings to cover SE tax (15.3% on 92.35% of net) plus income tax, though your exact rate depends on your bracket, deductions, and state. Moving that share into a separate account as you earn helps avoid a shortfall at quarterly due dates. Educational information, not tax advice.

How do I track business expenses for gig work?

Keep a contemporaneous record of every deductible cost — business miles, phone and data (business-use %), platform fees, and supplies — and retain receipts. The mileage log matters most: miles driven while working are typically deductible, but your personal commute is not. UnifyOne logs these from live platform data. Educational information, not tax advice.
