Could an S corporation election make sense for your business?
Adjust the numbers below for a rough, educational estimate of potential payroll-tax differences. An S corporation is not right for every business, and this is not a tax calculation or recommendation.
Your business estimate
Salary should reflect the value of the work you perform, not just a target tax result.
Illustrative result
Estimated annual payroll-tax difference
Enter your business figures to see an illustrative comparison.
Important: This simplified estimate compares approximate self-employment tax on 92.35% of sole-proprietor profit with combined employer/employee Social Security and Medicare taxes on the entered salary. It does not calculate income tax, state-specific rules, Additional Medicare Tax, wage limits, QBI effects, S corporation compliance costs, or other facts that may change the result. A reasonable salary is required, distributions are not automatically tax-free, and actual savings may be lower—or there may be no savings. Use this only as a conversation starter, not as tax, legal, or financial advice.
For official background, see the IRS S corporation guidance ↗.
