S-Corp savings calculator
Could switching to an S-Corp lower your self-employment taxes? Drag two sliders and see an honest estimate — right on this page, and your numbers never leave your device.
Sole proprietors and single-member LLCs pay self-employment tax on every dollar of profit. An S-Corp changes that math: you pay yourself a reasonable salary (taxed like any paycheck) and can take the rest as distributions. Sometimes that saves real money; sometimes the extra paperwork isn’t worth it. This calculator gives you a straight answer either way.

What the estimate can’t see
The calculator compares payroll taxes only. Your real answer also depends on the QBI deduction, state fees, retirement contributions, and what counts as reasonable compensation for your role — which is exactly what we work through together on a discovery call. No tool replaces that conversation; this one just tells you whether it’s worth having.
