02 · Why Oregon 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. Oregoncharges $100per year to keep your entity in good standing and assesses ordinary state income tax on top of the federal figure.
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 Oregon annual fee, the estimated net modeled benefit is$7,580.
State-specific note: Oregon LLCs must file an annual report ($100).
