Scorporationtaxcalculator.com exists because "should I elect S-Corp status?" is one of the most consequential tax decisions a self-employed person makes, and most people either guess based on a podcast they half-remember or pay an accountant just to find out the answer is "not yet."
We built this tool to show the actual numbers: the self-employment tax savings from splitting income into a reasonable salary plus distributions, weighed against the real administrative cost of running payroll and filing a separate return. The S-Corp election only pays off above a certain profit level — this calculator shows you where that line sits for your specific numbers, instead of a generic rule of thumb.
It's built and maintained by Officina Systems, part of the IndieOwner family of free calculators for independent creators and small business owners. No account, no spreadsheet — enter your numbers and see where you stand.
