How This Gets Used
An S-Corp owner was paying himself $20,000 in salary against $180,000 in distributions. The reasonable compensation estimator flagged it as high audit risk before the IRS did.
About This Template
S-Corp owners must pay themselves a reasonable salary before taking distributions — get the split wrong and it's one of the most common audit triggers there is. This calculator estimates a defensible salary, flags your audit risk automatically, and separately calculates a safe monthly draw so the business never runs short either.
