Reading the results
With no boot, the top shows all the gain deferred. Otherwise it shows the taxable gain and a rough tax. Below are the equity to reinvest, the replacement price and loan needed to defer it all, cash boot, mortgage boot, and the tax with and without an exchange.
Taxable gain is the smaller of total boot and the gain.
Assumptions
The tax uses one combined federal plus state rate. Depreciation recapture, replacement closing costs and state rules aren't modeled. Deadlines are 45 days to identify and 180 to close, with a qualified intermediary. Estimate, not tax advice.
What the PDF has
The property sold, the replacement, what it takes to defer it all, and boot and tax.

Questions
What is boot?
Value the investor takes out instead of reinvesting: cash left over, or debt paid off that isn't replaced by new debt or added cash.
Can a bigger loan make up for cash taken out?
No. New debt offsets mortgage boot but not cash boot.
