An S-Corporation payroll and distribution calculator helps determine the optimal salary-to-distribution split for S-Corp shareholders. The IRS requires a "reasonable salary" subject to payroll taxes; distributions above salary avoid self-employment tax. At $200,000 profit, a $80,000 salary + $120,000 distribution saves ~$15,000 in self-employment taxes.
