This estimator provides a rough range (6-10% of QREs) based on simplified assumptions. Actual credit calculations use either the Regular Credit or Alternative Simplified Credit (ASC) method, both requiring historical QRE and gross receipts data. Your actual credit may be higher or lower.

Important: Since 2022, R&D expenses must be capitalized and amortized over 5 years (domestic) or 15 years (foreign) under Section 174, affecting overall tax benefits. Startups under $5M gross receipts may offset up to $500K against payroll taxes. Consult an R&D tax credit specialist for accurate calculations.
