$100K gross....
That basically means you are self-employed and undercharging, you are going broke, or you are a startup using some creative accounting.

- hajile 7y agoIf an employee is getting paid an average of $64K, they are very likely costing their employer another $36K in taxes, unemployment, worker's comp, 401k matching, insurance, vacation time, etc. If you run your own business, you have to account for these things and more (accountant, equipment, advertising, etc). Staying under 100K gross seems almost impossible unless you plan on running yourself out of business.
- aggie 7y agoYou're right. I misread that as income from an employer. Sorry.
