Illustrative value increase = annual operating savings plus recurring R&D credits, multiplied by your selected multiple. This assumes both benefits continue and are valued at the same multiple.
This is a simplified recurring-benefit scenario, not an EBITDA valuation or an appraisal. R&D income-tax credits do not increase EBITDA. Their actual value depends on eligibility, usable amounts, duration, and buyer treatment. Fees, tax effects, and implementation costs are excluded.
See where the opportunity comes from
Several smaller opportunities can add up to a meaningful difference.
Explore DREAMS Score ↗Illustration only. All six amounts are modeled as annual recurring opportunities. R&D tax credits and payroll tax savings require eligibility review each year; availability and amounts may change. Enter distinct amounts to avoid double counting. Timing varies, and figures exclude fees, implementation costs, and tax effects. No savings or credit is guaranteed.

BEFORE YOU TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Good questions.
Clear expectations.
Are the calculator amounts guaranteed?
No. The starting amounts are an example, not an estimate for your business. The calculator adds the annual recurring savings and R&D tax credits you enter. It assumes the selected amounts continue when annual eligibility requirements are met. Specialists must confirm eligibility, timing, costs, and the actual financial impact.
Do we have to replace our existing advisers?
You can bring the opportunity discussion to your current CPA, benefits adviser, or leadership team. Use it to ask better questions and determine where additional expertise would be helpful.
What should I have ready?
Start with your priorities and a general picture of your business. If a deeper review makes sense, the appropriate specialist can explain which records are needed and how to provide them.
What does the first conversation cost?
The initial DREAMS Score conversation is presented as complimentary and without obligation. Any later service, product, or implementation should be reviewed separately for pricing, terms, and suitability.
