The IRS says:

 

To calculate your plan compensation, you reduce your net earnings from self-employment by:

  • the deductible portion of your SE tax from your Form 1040 return, Schedule 1, on the line for deductible part of self-employment tax, and
  • the amount of your own (not your employees’) retirement plan contribution from your Form 1040 return, Schedule 1, on the line for self-employed SEP, SIMPLE, and qualified plans.

Please read this IRS document for more information.
