A professional WordPress plugin that estimates first-year tax savings from a cost segregation study, with lead capture, branded PDF reports, and full Elementor support.

Built by Zuhad Zahid · Obix Digital

What it does

Commercial property owners can enter their property details and instantly see an estimated first-year tax benefit from accelerated (cost segregation) depreciation — both a Conservative and a High-End estimate. Visitors download a branded PDF report after filling in a short lead form, and every lead is stored in the WordPress dashboard.

Features

  • Conservative & High-End estimates of first-year tax savings
  • Supports all major commercial property types (office, retail, warehouse, residential, hotel, restaurant, medical, and more)
  • Automatically applies the correct bonus depreciation percentage by service year (100% / 80% / 60% / 50% / 0%)
  • Lead capture modal gates the PDF download (name, email, phone, and custom fields)
  • Server-side PDF report generated with the bundled FPDF library — includes your logo, client info, and both estimate tables. No external services are called.
  • Elementor widget with live style controls, plus a [zcse_calculator] shortcode for any page or post
  • Lead Records admin screen — view, search, sort, delete, and export leads to CSV
  • Form Builder admin screen — enable/disable fields, mark required/optional, add custom fields, drag to reorder
  • Configurable branding: logo, company details, colors, and PDF footer/disclaimer

How the estimate is calculated

Example — a $1,000,000 office building, 37% tax rate, placed in service in 2026 (100% bonus):

  1. Standard depreciation: $1,000,000 ÷ 39 years = $25,641/year
  2. Reclassification: office buildings reclassify ~20–30% of cost to 5/7/15-year property (Conservative 20% = $200,000, High-End 30% = $300,000)
  3. Bonus depreciation (2026 = 100%): the reclassified portion is written off in Year 1; the remaining basis ($800,000) still depreciates at the 39-year rate ($20,513)
  4. Year 1 accelerated deduction (Conservative): $200,000 + $20,513 = $220,513
  5. Increase vs. standard: $220,513 − $25,641 = $194,872
  6. Estimated Year 1 tax savings: $194,872 × 37% = $72,103
