02 · Why Nevada specifically
The state-level numbers that move the answer.
An S-Corp election only pencils out when the federal payroll tax saved outpaces the recurring cost of running a corporate entity. Nevadacharges $350per year to keep your entity in good standing and does not layer an individual income tax on top of your pass-through income.
At the calculator's default $100K / $50K inputs, the federal delta ($7,680) is what an LLC owner gives up in self-employment tax on net profit. After the Nevada annual fee, the estimated net modeled benefit is$7,330.
State-specific note: Nevada's $350 annual list filing is required for all LLCs. There is no state individual income tax.
