Round estimate is fine.

How the estimate works

We use a simple method that works well for cold outreach. Your specialist will confirm the real number during the review.

Method A - Sales × 15% × 7.65%

Method B - Tips × 7.65%

Example

$100,000 in reported tips → employer FICA ≈ $7,650 → potential credit ≈ $7,650

Note: mandatory service charges/auto-gratuity are treated differently than voluntary tips. We’ll separate that during review.
