No saved runs yet. Save assumptions on this browser only before the numbers start wandering.

This is not tax advice. The qualified intermediary and timeline matter before closing.

What this number is really saying

Deferral is powerful only when the timeline, intermediary, and replacement math are handled before the sale closes.

The assumption to attack

Replacement price, new debt, and available equity. Boot is what happens when the math and rules stop matching.

What the math is ignoring

Identification rules, entity issues, related-party rules, tax filing deadlines, and CPA/legal review.

Read the output

Headline, stress, proof.

  1. Start with the headline result.It names the current modeled answer, not the decision.
  2. Compare the stress cases.The scenario strip shows which assumption makes the answer fragile.
  3. Use the ledger as a diligence list.Every input should map back to a document, invoice, statement, term sheet, or named assumption.
Verify against

Documents before confidence.

Qualified intermediary, CPA, settlement statements, debt replacement math, identification notices, and the 45/180-day timeline.
