Interactive tax calculators from ProAxis Tax & Accounting Services. No signup. No email required. Run the math yourself, then schedule a consultation if you want a CPA to validate the results for your specific situation.
Tax decisions usually involve a "should I" question that traditional CPA firms answer only after a paid consultation. ProAxis publishes interactive calculators that let you run the math yourself — no signup, no email gate, no sales pitch. The goal is to help small business owners ask better questions of any CPA they hire (whether ProAxis or otherwise).
Each calculator uses current-year tax rates and rules. Each one explicitly notes what it does NOT model (federal income tax bracket impact, state-specific tax, QBI interaction, BAIT eligibility, etc.) so you understand the limits of a generic estimate. For a precise calculation tailored to your specific situation, schedule a free consultation — ProAxis runs the full analysis as part of standard small-business onboarding.

A free calculator answers a narrow question: under typical assumptions, what does the math suggest? That answer is useful for triaging a decision before you spend money on a paid consultation. It is not a substitute for the work a CPA does on your actual return.
For an S-Corp election, a calculator can tell you whether the gross self-employment tax savings are large enough to justify a deeper look. It cannot tell you whether your reasonable salary number will hold up under IRS scrutiny, whether the QBI deduction will phase out in your bracket, or whether the NJ BAIT election layers on top to double your savings. Those answers come from a CPA who has read your prior returns, your operating agreement, and your books.
The calculator is also blind to timing. The right tax move at the start of a year is often different from the right move in November, and the right move for a growing business is often different from the right move for a stable one. A CPA looks at where your business is going, not just where it is today, and recommends a strategy that fits the trajectory.
Use the calculator to decide whether a question is worth asking. Use a CPA to get the answer that fits your situation. The two work together. ProAxis runs the precise calculation as part of every small-business onboarding — the calculator is just the starting point.
Every ProAxis calculator follows the same build rules. The math runs entirely in your browser using the current-year federal tax tables and rates. Inputs are never sent to a server, never logged, and never used for marketing. The page does not gate results behind a signup or email field.
Each calculator is reviewed by a licensed CPA before publication and updated when tax law or rates change. The S-Corp savings calculator, for example, applies the 2026 Social Security wage base of $184,500, the 12.4% Social Security rate, the 2.9% Medicare rate, and the 92.35% Schedule SE adjustment. When the wage base or rates change for a new tax year, the calculator is updated and the worked example is rewritten.
Each tool ships with a plain-language disclaimer that lists what the calculator does and does not model. The goal is honest estimation, not optimistic projection. A calculator that overstates savings does the user a disservice — the user makes a decision based on a number that will not hold up on the actual return.
If you find a calculation that looks wrong, email info@proaxiscpa.com with the inputs you used and the result you expected. ProAxis investigates every report and corrects the tool when warranted.
Most visitors fall into one of three groups. Each gets value from the same tool in a different way.
Yes. Every ProAxis calculator is free, runs in your browser, and requires no signup or email. Inputs and results stay on your device. The calculators are published as a public service for NJ, NY, and PA small business owners who want to run the math before booking a paid CPA consultation.
Each calculator uses current-year federal tax rates and rules and produces a directional estimate, not a precise return-ready figure. The S-Corp savings calculator, for example, applies 2026 self-employment tax rates and the $184,500 Social Security wage base. The result is accurate as a planning estimate but does not capture every variable that would appear on a filed tax return.
The calculators are focused on a single decision. They do not model federal income tax bracket impact, NJ Gross Income Tax, the QBI deduction, retirement plan contribution capacity, or NJ BAIT eligibility. Any of these can shift the actual savings up or down by thousands of dollars. Each calculator notes its limits in plain language on the page.
Use a calculator first to decide whether a strategy is worth investigating. If the estimate shows meaningful savings — for the S-Corp election, typically more than $3,000/year net of compliance costs — book a CPA consultation to validate the numbers for your exact situation. If the estimate shows minimal savings, the strategy probably is not worth the added compliance complexity for your business right now.
No. The calculators run entirely in your browser. Your inputs are not transmitted to ProAxis, are not saved to a server, and are not used for marketing. Closing or refreshing the page clears the inputs. ProAxis cannot see what you entered.
ProAxis publishes calculators because most tax-planning conversations start with a basic should-I question that does not need a paid meeting to answer. Free tools help business owners ask sharper questions of any CPA they hire, whether that is ProAxis or another firm. Owners who decide they want a precise analysis usually book a consultation; owners who do not move forward still got real value, and that is fine.
Yes for the federal portion. The S-Corp savings calculator models federal self-employment tax and federal payroll tax, which apply identically in NY and PA. State income tax differs by state, and the calculator does not model state tax effects. ProAxis serves NJ, NY, and PA business owners and runs the full state-level analysis as part of any consultation.
