Regular Tax vs Tentative AMT
💡 What This Means
Alternative Minimum Tax Calculator
The Alternative Minimum Tax Calculator checks whether the parallel AMT system adds to your bill this year. You enter your income as an AMTI estimate, your filing status, and any incentive stock option bargain element, and it returns your tentative minimum tax beside your regular tax. The AMT applies only when the tentative figure is larger, so the tool shows the gap and the extra owed, if any. It also applies the exemption and its phaseout at higher incomes. Use it when you exercise ISOs, claim large deductions, or earn enough to wonder whether the AMT reaches you. It turns an opaque second tax system into a clear yes or no with a dollar amount.
