About ProfitMetric & Our Data Methodology

Our Mission: ProfitMetric builds institutional-grade, 100% free interactive calculators for U.S. small business owners, 1099 independent contractors, multi-channel e-commerce sellers, and residential real estate investors.

Primary .GOV Statutory Data Sources: Every mathematical model on ProfitMetric is engineered using primary public datasets published by U.S. federal and state agencies, including:

• Internal Revenue Service (IRS.gov): Schedule SE (15.3% self-employment tax & 92.35% net earnings multiplier), Subchapter S (Form 2553), Section 199A QBI deduction rules, and Publication 527 residential rental depreciation tables.
• Social Security Administration (SSA.gov): Official 2026 Contribution and Benefit Base ($184,500 taxable wage maximum).
• U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD.gov) & FHFA.gov: Fair Market Rents and metropolitan House Price Index benchmarks across 50 states and 25 metro areas.
• State Secretaries of State & Franchise Tax Boards: Statutory annual LLC report fees and state income tax brackets across all 50 U.S. jurisdictions.

Zero-Gate, Zero-Storage Privacy Guarantee: Unlike traditional lead-generation calculators that force visitors to hand over their email address or phone number to view results, ProfitMetric executes 100% of calculations directly inside your browser with zero server-side data retention.
