The S-Corp “Goldilocks” Salary Worksheet
Paying yourself too little as an S-Corp owner is an audit waiting to happen. Paying yourself too much is just lighting money on fire. This free worksheet walks you through the math to find the salary that keeps the IRS off your back and your payroll taxes as low as legally possible.
Here's what's inside:
- The FICA ceiling, where payroll taxes get cheaper
- The QBI floor, the number you shouldn't drop below if you're a high earner
- A market rate reality check so you're not paying yourself like a hog
- A single "Target Salary" line to walk away with
The IRS has opinions about your salary. Now you will too.
