I want to take out the right amount of taxes each pay period, so that I do not have to owe money in taxes. I will claim as a sole proprietor.

Since your self employment taxes will run you a little under 15%, you will probably cover yourself by setting aside at least 25% of your earnings.

Self employment taxes are the equivalent of Social Security and Medicare withholding on a W-2.
