Loan Amount Considerations



For purposes of calculating “Average Monthly Payroll,” most Applicants will use average monthly

payroll for 2019 or 2020. All Applicants must exclude costs over $100,000 on an annualized basis as

prorated for the period during which the payments are made or the obligation to make the payments is

incurred, for each employee.



Applicants who are NOT self-employed (including sole proprietorships or independent

contractors) are also permitted to use the precise 1-year period before the date on which the

loan is made to calculate payroll costs if they choose not to use average monthly payroll for

2019 or 2020



For seasonal businesses,

the Applicant may elect to instead use average monthly payroll for any

twelve-week period selected by the Applicant between February 15, 2019 and February 15, 2020.

Second draw Applicants utilizing the precise 1-year period must use the period prior to their second draw loan. They

cannot use the 1-year period used for their first draw loan to obtain a second draw loan.

Per guidance from the SBA, a business is seasonal if it "(i) does not operate for more than 7 months in any calendar year; or (ii)

during the preceding calendar year, had gross receipts for any six months of that year that were not more than 33.33 percent of the

gross receipts of the employer for the other 6 months of that year."



For new entities requesting first draw loans that were not in business before February 15, 2019, the

Applicant may elect instead to use average monthly payroll costs for the period January 1, 2020

through February 29, 2020.



For new entities requesting second draw loans that did not exist during the 1-year period preceding

February 15, 2020, but were in operation on February 15, 2020, the Applicant may elect to use

average monthly payroll costs from when the entity began operations through the end of calendar

year 2020.



Employee payroll costs consists of the following

Compensation paid to employees (excluding compensation to employees whose principal place of

residence is outside the United States) in the form of salary, wages, commissions, or similar

compensation; cash tips or the equivalent (based on employer records of past tips or, in the

absence of such records, a reasonable, good-faith employer estimate of such tips)

Employer payments for employee vacation, parental, family, medical, or sick leave (except those

paid leave amounts for which a credit is allowed under FFCRA Sections 7001 and 7003)

Employer payments to employees with respect to allowance for separation or dismissal

Employer payments for the provision of employee benefits (including insurance premiums)

consisting of group health care coverage, group life, disability, vision, or dental insurance, and

retirement benefits

Employer payments of state and local taxes assessed on employee compensation

To calculate Owner Compensation or Proprietor Expenses



For Applicants that file IRS Form 1040, Schedule C and elect to use net profit to calculate loan amount,

owner compensation is computed using line 31 net profit amount, limited to $100,000. Schedule C

filers with no employees must show a net profit on line 31. If line 31 is zero or less, you are not eligible

for a PPP loan.



For Applicants without employees that file IRS Form 1040, Schedule C and elect to use gross income

to calculate loan amount, proprietor expenses are computed using line 7 gross income amount, limited

to $100,000. If line 7 is zero or less, you are not eligible for a PPP loan.



For Applicants with employees that file IRS Form 1040, Schedule C and elect to use gross income to

calculate loan amount, proprietor expenses are computed using line 7 gross income amount minus the

sum of lines 14, 19, and 26, limited to $100,000.



For Applicants that are partnerships, owner compensation is computed using net earnings from self-

employment of individual general partners, as reported on IRS Form 1065 K-1, box 14a, reduced by

section 179 expense deduction claimed in box 12, unreimbursed partnership expenses claimed, and

depletion claimed on oil and gas properties, multiplied by 0.9235, that is not more than $100,000 per

partner.



For Applicants that are farmers and ranchers

without employees, owner compensation is computed

using IRS Form 1040 Schedule F line 9 gross income, up to $100,000. Schedule F filers with no

employees must show positive gross income on line 9.

For items 1-3 in the aggregate, exclude costs over $100,000 on an annualized basis, as prorated for the period during

which the payments are made or the obligation to make the payments is incurred, for each employee.

Do not include any employee paid amounts that the employer withheld and remitted on their behalf.

Owner compensation includes wage, commissions, income or net earnings from self-employment or similar compensation.

Only farmers and ranchers who (1) file a Schedule F with their Form 1040 and (2) report Schedule F farm income on IRS Form 1040

Schedule 1 may use gross income to determine their loan amount. Single member LLCs and qualified joint ventures, as defined by

the IRS, that file Schedule F with their Form 1040 may use gross income to determine their loan amount. Only one spouse in a

qualified joint venture may submit a PPP loan application on behalf of the qualified joint venture.



For Applicants that are farmers and ranchers

with employees, owner compensation is computed using

the lesser of $100,000 and the difference between gross income as reported on IRS Form 1040

Schedule F line 9 and the sum of Schedule F lines 15, 22 and 23.



For Applicants eligible to use gross income from both Schedule C and Schedule F, owner

compensation is computed by separately calculating the Schedule C and Schedule F amounts using

the above instructions and summing the two results together.



S and C Corporations, owner-employee compensation should be included in the Employee Payroll

calculation. Such owner-employees are not eligible for separate owner compensation since owner

compensation is included in the employee payroll calculation.

Employee Payroll



Owner(s) Compensation or Proprietor Expenses



Total annual payroll can be for calendar year 2019, 2020 or, for Applicants who are not self-employed (including sole

proprietorships and independent contractors), the precise 1-year period before the date on which the loan is made.

Second draw Applicants utilizing the option of the precise 1-year period before the date on which the loan is made must

use the 1-year period prior to their second draw loan, not the 1-year period prior to their first draw loan. In addition:

 Seasonal businesses, who do not use calendar year 2019, 2020 or the precise 1-year period before the date on

which the loan is made, may calculate total annual payroll by taking the payroll costs incurred during any twelve-

week period selected by the Applicant between February 15, 2019 and February 15, 2020 and dividing that number

by 12 and then multiplying that number by 52 to get the total annual payroll.

 New entities applying for first-draw loans, who do not use calendar year 2019, 2020 or the precise 1-year period

before the date on which the loan is made, may calculate total annual payroll by taking the payroll costs incurred

from January 1, 2020 to February 29, 2020, dividing that number by 60 and then multiplying that number by 364 to

get the total annual payroll.

 New entities applying for second-draw loans, who do not use calendar year 2019, 2020 or the precise 1-year period

before the date on which the loan is made, may calculate total annual payroll by taking the payroll costs incurred

from when the entity began operations through the end of the calendar year 2020, dividing that number by the

number of days the business was in operation from 2019 through the end of 2020, and then multiplying that

number by 364 to get the total annual payroll.

You must use the same base period (e.g. 2019 or 2020) for all components of your Loan Request Amount.

Take total annual payroll and divide by 12.
