2025 Calculator Formatted Live Draft

NOTICE:

We’re currently updating our Calculator to reflect the recent tax law changes introduced in H.R. 1 (Public Law No. 119‑21), commonly referred to as the "Big Beautiful Bill."

The tool will be temporarily unavailable while we make the necessary updates to ensure accuracy and compliance. We expect to have it back online soon and appreciate your patience in the meantime.

IMPORTANT: We recommend non-U.S. citizens consult an immigration attorney to determine if you qualify for RETE's program, which has a self-employment component.

Sorry, RETE's services are not currently available in your state.

I, customer, agree that the amounts displayed on this calculator are estimates based on my input and may not reflect actual tax savings or credits. Several factors may influence these calculations. Furthermore, the estimated business activity benefit assumes the use of a net metering system in which all power generated by the solar power system is sold to the utility. If I work with Renewable Energy Tax Experts, LLC, I will contact them directly to evaluate my tax situation and obtain further guidance. I acknowledge and agree to the foregoing statement and will not hold Renewable Energy Tax Experts, LLC or its staff, contractors, or partners accountable for any promises or decisions based on the calculator's estimates.

Minimum 20-year term required.

A child dependent is a family member who will be 16 years of age or younger as of December 31, 2025, and for whom you provide more than half of their living expenses.

*For estimation purposes only. The estimates provided herein are limited in scope and based on generalized assumptions and the inputs provided, and are not guaranteed to be accurate. It is our recommendation to report the annual income generated by your solar power system for the lifetime of the system. In years that do not have adequate expenses (i.e. interest, depreciation) to offset the income, the system's net profit will likely result in a tax liability.
