How this calculator works
Default pass-through: The LLC owes no federal income tax of its own. Profits flow to your personal return. Self-employment (SE) tax of 15.3% applies on 92.35% of net earnings, up to the SS wage base ($176,100 in 2026). Half of SE tax is deductible above-the-line. The QBI deduction (Section 199A) may reduce taxable income by up to 20%.
S-Corp election: The LLC pays you a "reasonable salary" subject to payroll FICA (15.3%). Remaining profits pass through to your return as distributions, free of SE tax. The breakeven is typically around $40,000-$60,000 of net profit, depending on your reasonable salary.
2026 federal brackets are estimated by extrapolating the IRS inflation indexing from 2025 (Rev. Proc. 2024-40).
