A LITTLE CONTEXT

Reasonable pay is a decision you can explain.

S-corp owners who perform services generally must receive reasonable compensation before taking non-wage distributions. The IRS looks at what you actually do, your experience, time, and comparable pay. A percentage of profit alone cannot answer that question.

This tool weights occupation wages by your duties. Metro wages fall back to state, then national when a complete series is unavailable. It is designed for small, single-state businesses with straightforward books.
