What's included in the S-Corp Evaluator?

The S-Corp Evaluator compares sole proprietorship vs S-Corporation structures, showing you tax savings, optimal salary/distribution splits, retirement contribution differences, and whether forming an S-Corp makes sense for your income level.

Can I export my scenarios?

Yes! Pro users can export any scenario or comparison as a professional PDF report — perfect for sharing with your spouse, CPA, or financial advisor.
