Welcome to Delaware Brass Institute Invoicing
Let's get set up. Start by filling in your business information — payment methods, contact info, and any school closure dates for the year.
Settings
Your business info, payment methods, and customizations.
Backup & Restore
Your data lives in this browser. Export regularly so you don't lose students, clients, or settings if browser data is cleared.
Google Calendar & Gmail
Connects your Workspace calendar to the Home page so you can see today's and this week's schedule without leaving the app, and lets “Email + PDF” send the invoice straight from your own Gmail with the PDF already attached — no downloading and re-attaching by hand. Access is send-only: the app cannot read, search, or delete anything in your mailbox.

Taxes & Fees
Drives the set-aside and fee figures on the Finances tab. Nothing here is filed or sent anywhere — it's your own planning arithmetic.
Tax set-aside rates
This business income sits on top of your household's salaries, so it's taxed at your top marginal rates rather than from the lowest bracket up. Update the federal and state rates if your household moves into a different bracket.
Self-employment tax is charged on 92.35% of net income. Federal income tax is charged on net income after the QBI deduction and half of the self-employment tax. Delaware and Wilmington are charged on net income. These are planning estimates, not filing figures.
Payment processor fees
What each service takes from a payment. The Finances tab uses these to estimate fees automatically, matched to the payment method recorded on each invoice. Leave a service out entirely if it costs you nothing — cash and checks usually do.
The method name has to match the payment method you pick when marking an invoice paid — e.g. PayPal, Venmo. You can also record the exact fee on an individual invoice in the Invoice Log, and that always wins over the estimate here.

Income is counted on a cash basis — a payment belongs to the period it was received in, not the period it was invoiced for.

| Date paid | Invoice | Paid by | Type | Method | Gross | Fee |

~ means the fee was estimated from the rate in Settings, not a figure you recorded. Record the real amount on an invoice in the Invoice Log to make it exact.
