QBI Deduction Calculator

Estimate the section 199A deduction for one group of businesses, including the wage limit when income is above the threshold.

For 2026 and 2027, section 199A(i) gives the greater of the ordinary deduction or a minimum amount when active qualified business income reaches the published amount. Income below that amount still uses the ordinary calculation. The 2026 and 2027 phase-in ranges are wider than the 2025 range.

The section 199A(i) minimum applies only if you materially participate under section 469(h).

  • Section 199A(i) uses the greater of the ordinary deduction and $400.00 when active qualified business income is at least $1,000.00. That minimum is not reduced again by 20 percent of taxable income.
