How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Accommodation Cost — the total cost of the proposed modification or equipment.

- Enter Employee Annual Salary and Replacement Cost Multiple (1–2x salary to replace the employee).
- Select Accommodation Type: equipment, workspace modification, or schedule adjustment.
- Review Net Cost After Tax Benefits — the Section 44 credit covers 50% of eligible costs ($250–$10,250).
