For example, if you are in the 25% tax bracket, you will owe $250 in taxes for every $1,000 you earn from your 1099 work. If you are in the 28% tax bracket, you will owe $280 in taxes for every $1,000 you earn. And so on.

To calculate your exact tax liability, you will need to fill out a tax return and submit it to the IRS.
