Augusta rule calculator
Days × documented market rate × your marginal rate. The rules and documentation that make it stick are in the guide.
State rates are approximate 2026 top marginal rates for single filers (editable) — graduated brackets, local taxes (e.g., Maryland counties), and special levies (e.g., Washington capital gains) are not modeled.
At 15+ days, ALL the income becomes taxable — the calculator caps you at 14 on purpose. Requires a separate entity (S-corp/partnership), real meetings, and documented comparable rates.
Educational estimate only — simplified assumptions, not tax advice, and not a substitute for a calculation on your actual return. Limits and rates change annually.

Agreements, comps, minutes — we set it up so the tax-free treatment survives scrutiny.
