Well just like your taxes, you should be paying it along with your form 1040es through the year (quarterly), and ultimately calculating it on your Form 1040 return when filing it.
Not paying your taxes through the year mean you will pay penalties, late fees and interest all of which may be substantial, when you do file and pay.

If you are a self employed taxpayer then you are responsible for all of your own FICA self employment taxes of 15.3% plus any income taxes on your net profit from your business operation at your marginal tax rate. Your first 106800 maximum amount of net profit from the business operation will be subject to the social security tax and your maximum social security payment amount would be 6621.60 All of your net profit from your business operation will be subject to the Medicare tax of 2.90% with no cap.

Self-Employed people have to pay income tax just like everyone else, plus self-employment taxes which are basically Social Security and Medicare taxes. A self-employed person will have to pay all of the Social Security and Medicare taxes since they don't have an employer. When you work for someone, the employer pays for half of the Social Security and Medicare taxes in addition to other taxes like federal and state unemployment taxes and other items depending on the state and city you are located in.
Yes. In fact, since preachers are considered self-employed they get to pay the whole 15.7% in social security taxes.
Yes. The "self-employment tax" is actually the Social Security and Medicare tax. If you work for someone else, you would have Social Security and Medicare tax taken out of your paycheck and your employer would match the amounts that were taken out. When you are self-employed, instead of having these amounts taken out of your paycheck, you pay both the employee and the employer share directly to the government.
Self-employment tax is separate from income tax. Self-employment tax is actually the Social Security and Medicare taxes on self-employment income. The tax rate for Social Security is 12.4%. The tax rate for Medicare is 2.9%. When you are employed by another person, one-half of your Social Security and Medicare taxes are withheld from your gross wages. The other half is paid by your employer. When you are self-employed, you are both the employee and the employer, and must pay 100% of the Social Security and Medicare taxes due on your self-employment income. These taxes often come as a major shock to the newly self-employed. SE income is usually calculated on Form 1040 Schedule C. SE tax is calculated on Form 1040 Schedule SE.
