Calculators for practice owners, 2026.
Estimate what a practice is worth, what it earns, what a sale leaves after tax, and how ready it is to sell. Four sheets for the practice itself and its clients: the California PTE elective tax with each owner’s credit, the CPA CPE calculator and license renewal planner, Form 540-ES estimated tax with the 30/40/0/30 installments, and the employer’s cost of a California hire. Multiples, tax rates and Board rules come from published sources, current for 2026 and listed at the bottom of each page.

What they are not
These are estimates, not appraisals, offers, or tax advice. The written valuation from our CPA team uses the actual client list and fee history and follows within 24 hours of a call.
Privacy
The calculations run in your browser. The valuation calculator and the quiz send your figures to our team when you ask for the range; the other seven send nothing. We record that a page was used, not what was entered.
Questions about a sale
A first call is confidential and with our CPA team. You can also write to [email protected] or reach us through your broker.
