How the calculation works
The comparison applies the entered payroll-tax rate to LLC self-employment earnings versus S-corp salary, then subtracts extra S-corp administration cost.
What to verify
Reasonable compensation, QBI, state taxes, retirement contributions and entity law require professional advice.
How accurate is this calculator?
It is a transparent planning calculation based on the entered values and stated assumptions. Verify inputs and obtain professional or supplier confirmation where the decision is consequential.
Does it use U.S. defaults?
Yes. U.S. units, terminology, pricing conventions and rules are the primary defaults where location matters.
Is data sent to a server?
No. The calculation runs locally in the browser and does not send entered values to a remote calculation service.
