Quick answers, with your own numbers.

Small tools I built for business owners. Each one answers one question, right on the page.

Nothing you type on these pages leaves your screen. The math runs in your own browser, and using a tool won’t put you on a mailing list.

Taxes

Would electing S corporation status save you money this year, after what it costs to run one?

Taxes

How much GET can you add to a price in Hawaii, and what do you charge to keep the price you want?

Example: to keep $1,000, charge $1,047.12. The most GET you can add is 4.712%, not 4.5%.

Taxes

What do GET, the state TAT and the county TAT come to on a stay, and what do you keep?

Example: 5 nights at $250 a night with a $150 cleaning fee. Add the taxes to the bill and the guest pays $1,661.97.

Profit

Which is worth more to your profit: a small price rise or a cut in overhead?

Example: on $600,000 of sales and $90,000 of overhead, a 3% price rise adds $18,000 and a 10% overhead cut adds $9,000.
