Terms of Service
The basic rules for using this site
These terms describe, in plain English, how you can use S-Corp Pay Planner — the site, the free calculator, accounts, and any future paid features. Nothing tricky, no fine print buried in legal jargon.
Written to be readable. Updated from time to time as the product evolves.
Using the site
How you can use S-Corp Pay Planner
The public site and free calculator are open for you to browse and use. A few common-sense expectations apply.
Browse and try the free calculator
You can read the public pages and use the free calculator without an account. The tool is built for planning and organization around S-corp owner pay.
Use the site lawfully and responsibly
Please use S-Corp Pay Planner in a way that is lawful, reasonable, and respectful of other users and the service itself.
Don't try to break or abuse the product
Don't attempt to misuse, disrupt, overload, scrape abusively, or interfere with the normal operation of the site or calculator.
Calculator & estimates
What the calculator results actually are
The numbers produced by the calculator are planning estimates only. They are simplified by design — built to help you think through salary vs. distributions, tax reserves, and deadlines before talking with a professional.
Outputs are not final tax, payroll, bookkeeping, or legal determinations. They do not certify any specific salary as legally "reasonable," and they do not replace advice from a CPA, tax advisor, payroll provider, or attorney.
You remain responsible for your final business, compensation, filing, payroll, and compliance decisions. The calculator is a starting point, not the finishing line.
Accounts
Account responsibilities
Some features may require an account
The free calculator works without signing up. Saving scenarios, reminders, and other account features may require creating an account.
You're responsible for your account info
You're responsible for the information associated with your account and for keeping it accurate.
Keep your login secure
Keep your login credentials safe and don't share access in ways that could let others act as you.
Account features may expand over time
As the product grows, the set of account features may change. Material changes will be reflected on the site.
Paid plans & billing
If and when you choose a paid plan
Some features may require a paid subscription. The goal is to keep this simple, transparent, and free of surprises.
Pricing is shown before purchase
Pricing for any paid plan will be shown clearly on the site before you're asked to pay.
Billing terms vary by plan
Billing terms — for example monthly vs. yearly — may differ depending on the plan you choose. The applicable terms will be shown at checkout.
Renewal & cancellation are visible
If billing is active for your account, renewal and cancellation rules will be shown at checkout and inside your account settings.
Paid features may change over time
Paid features may be added, refined, or restructured as the product evolves. Material changes that affect your active plan will be communicated.
Acceptable use
What you may not do
To keep S-Corp Pay Planner safe and reliable for everyone, please don't:

Don't use the site or calculator in ways that are deceptive, harmful, or designed to abuse the service.

Don't try to disrupt, overload, or otherwise interfere with how the service runs for other users.
Use the service for fraud or unlawful activity

Copy or reverse engineer abusively
Beyond normal lawful use of the product, don't copy, reverse engineer, or scrape the service in ways that go beyond what's reasonable.
Intellectual property
What belongs to the service
The product, branding, design, copy, and original site content of S-Corp Pay Planner belong to the service. You're welcome to use the product for normal personal or business planning use.
Please don't copy, resell, redistribute, or rebrand the service as your own, and don't misrepresent S-Corp Pay Planner or its outputs as your own product or professional advice.
Service availability
The product will keep evolving
S-Corp Pay Planner is an evolving product. Features may be added, changed, paused, or removed over time as the product improves and as user needs become clearer.
No promise is made that every feature will always be available exactly the same way. The current state of the product is what's reflected on the site at any given time.
Disclaimers
Important limits in plain English
S-Corp Pay Planner is provided as a planning tool. It's designed to help you think through compensation and reserves — not to act as a tax authority, payroll system, or legal advisor.
No guarantee is made that the site will always be uninterrupted or completely error-free. From time to time, things may be down for maintenance, updates, or issues outside of normal operation.
No guarantee is made that estimates from the calculator are legally determinative or professionally sufficient on their own. Important compensation, tax, payroll, filing, and legal decisions should be confirmed with qualified professionals.
Ending access
Stopping or limiting use
You can stop using S-Corp Pay Planner at any time. If you have an account, you can stop using account features and, where applicable, request that your account be closed.
Access to the service may be limited or suspended if it's misused, abused, or used in ways that violate these terms or applicable law.
Updates
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated over time as the product evolves or as legal and operational needs change. The most current version will always be posted on this page. Significant changes may be highlighted on the site so they're easy to notice.
