As an S‑Corp owner you are required to pay yourself a “reasonable salary.” The problem is many owners overshoot it and quietly burn thousands every year in extra payroll taxes. This calculator gives you a quick stress test so you can see how much you might be overpaying based on your current pay, a reasonable salary, and your tax rate.
