Use this as a planning tool. It does not calculate income tax, self-employment tax, owner compensation, depreciation, or every possible business expense. Your actual results depend on your records and circumstances.

Tip: Run the calculator once using your current numbers, then again using a proposed tuition rate, staffing level or enrollment level. Comparing scenarios can make pricing and capacity decisions easier to discuss with your bookkeeper.
