Code ROI Calculator
About this program
Overview
The CodeROI R&D Tax Credit Calculator gives software companies an instant, illustrative estimate of their federal and state R&D tax credits, Section 174 position, and Cap Labor impact — sourced from the same engineering-activity model that powers CodeROI's full platform.
Who It's For
Software companies of any size, especially pre-profit and early-stage teams, who want a fast read on their R&D credit potential before committing to a full audit-ready engineering data capture process.
How It Works
Enter a few details about your engineering team and spend, and the calculator estimates qualified research expenses (QREs), potential federal and state R&D credits, and the possible EBITDA impact of Cap Labor treatment under ASC 350-40 — all without requiring access to your codebase.
What You Get
A clear, illustrative estimate of R&D tax credits, Section 174 exposure, and Cap Labor upside, plus a look at what a fully substantiated, audit-ready claim could look like with CodeROI. Estimates are for informational purposes only and are not a binding quote or a substitute for advice from your CPA or tax advisor.
About CodeROI
Vision
A world where every engineering team's real work is automatically turned into audit-ready financial and tax evidence — no spreadsheets, no guessing, no distraction.
Strategic Direction
CodeROI is building the evidence layer between engineering and finance, capturing R&D tax credit, Section 174, and software capitalization (ASC 350-40) data directly from code repositories instead of after-the-fact estimates.
Mission
Turn real engineering activity — commits, pull requests, reviews, and approvals — into defensible, audit-ready documentation for R&D tax credits, Section 174A, Section G, and Cap Labor reporting.
Who we are
CodeROI is a patented software platform that captures audit-ready engineering data from code repositories to support federal and state R&D tax credits, Section 174 deductions, SR&ED for Canadian operations, and software capitalized labor reporting (ASC 350-40). Rather than relying on tickets, time estimates, or retroactive interviews, CodeROI sources its evidence from timestamped, immutable engineering events, so finance, tax, and audit teams get what they need without pulling developers into surveys or time tracking.
