What's an effective tax rate?

Your total tax divided by your income. If you're unsure, last year's tax return gives it, or use 25% to 30% as a cautious starting point in many countries.

Why set money aside every month?

Freelancers pay tax in instalments or at year end, not through payroll. Putting it aside as you're paid avoids a large bill you can't cover.
