25-How to Pay Yourself from Your Business - Salary vs Owner Distributions vs Profit


Listen Later

Today I’m sharing the short-but-sweet answer to a question that is on EVERY new business owner’s mind: “How do I pay myself?

It’s really not a complicated answer, but here it is:

How you pay yourself from your business depends on how your business is structured (legally) and taxed (by the IRS)

I'll talk through:

  • How to take an owner distribution

  • How frequently I recommend paying yourself

  • Paying yourself as a sole proprietor vs an LLC vs an S-corp

*****

And if you need a refresher, here are 2 episodes I refer to in the show:

  1. 4 - LLCs and EINs

  2. 21 - What’s an S-Corp and When Should I Become One?
