Which calculator first?
Start with the calculator that matches how you get paid. The audience calculators and the self employment tax calculator all produce the same two numbers, the 15.3% self-employment tax and the federal income tax on your profit, then hand you to the quarterly tax calculator for the payment schedule.
Once profit clears roughly $80,000, the S corp tax calculator shows whether an election saves more than payroll costs, and the reasonable salary calculator gives the salary the IRS expects that S-corp to pay you. The write off calculator shrinks the profit every other calculator starts from.
Every result is a federal estimate using TY2026 figures, the standard deduction, and a simplified QBI deduction. State taxes are separate. Not tax advice.
