Why this matters
As profit grows, the default tax setup gets expensive.

FAQ
Quick answers before you run the estimate
Short and plain-English. The goal is clarity, not hype.
Is this a guarantee of savings?
No. It is a fast estimate based on typical mechanics. Actual savings depend on your facts, reasonable salary, and implementation details.
What number should I use?
Use annual net profit after expenses. If you are unsure, use last year’s profit from your tax return or your best estimate.
What if I don’t qualify?
You’ll still get a clear direction. Sometimes the best move is waiting until profit is higher, or tightening the books first.
What does the estimate actually calculate?
It compares the self-employment tax you would pay on your full profit today against the payroll tax on a reasonable salary as an S-Corp, then subtracts the payroll cost and the qualified business income effect. Your real number is confirmed by a CPA before anything changes.
Do you work with businesses outside Raleigh?
Yes. SPV works with small business owners across North Carolina.
