Important Considerations
Reasonable salary requirement: The IRS requires S-Corp owners to pay themselves a "reasonable salary" for their services. Setting it too low can trigger audits and penalties. Your salary should reflect what you'd pay someone else to do your job.
Additional S-Corp costs: This calculator shows tax savings only. S-Corps have additional costs: payroll processing ($500-2,000/year), separate tax return filing (~$500-1,500), registered agent fees, and state franchise taxes in some states.
When it makes sense: S-Corp election typically makes sense when net business income exceeds $40,000-60,000 and the tax savings outweigh the additional costs and complexity.
State considerations: Some states (like California) have minimum franchise taxes ($800+) for S-Corps regardless of income. Factor this into your decision.
This is a simplified estimate. Actual savings depend on many factors. Consult a CPA before making entity election decisions.
