There are several factors that need to be considered and they can be competing. For example, you might want a higher salary to add to your Social Security basis. We demonstrated this in an earlier chapter, and a snippet of that is reprinted here.<\/p>\n<p>The maximum Social Security benefit for 2021 is $3,957 per month for those who delay until age 70, or $3,135 for those who start benefits at full retirement age (FRA). Using SSA.gov\u2019s calculator, at $60,000 in salary at an age of 50 your benefit would be $1,955 at age 67 in today\u2019s dollars. A $100,000 salary would have a benefit of $2,675. Yes, we need to update this data but the illustration remains substantive.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" colspan=\"5\">Social Security Wage Limit (2021)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">142,800<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" colspan=\"5\">Max Benefit Retiring at 67 Years Old<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3,135<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" colspan=\"5\">Max Benefit Retiring at 70 Years Old<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3,957<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;

Look at those deltas between salary and benefits right around $90,000 to $100,000 in salary. This would suggest that salaries above $90,000 have a steep diminishing return on increasing SSA benefits. Or, said differently, salaries below $90,000 have a good retirement benefit for your salary buck. Additionally, consider that paying $140,000 costs about $7,500 in additional taxes without a corresponding strong future benefit ($50,000 x 15.3%).<\/p>\n<p>Do you pay yourself $90,000 just to get the most SSA benefit relative to the increased Social Security and Medicare taxes? Consider this-<\/p>\n<p>If you paid yourself $60,000 instead of $90,000 you would lose $612 in SSA benefits per month, or about $146,880 assuming 240 months (or 20 years of life remaining at 67 years old).<\/p>\n<p>However, you would save $4,590 in Social Security and Medicare taxes per year with a $30,000 lower salary. If you worked for 30 years, and those tax savings earned 5%, you will have over $320,000 accumulated. Accumulated wealth can also be transferred or spent, where future benefits are just that- future benefits and not money in the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Again, something to consider.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maximize_Your_401k_Contribution\"><\/span>Maximize Your 401k Contribution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You also might want a higher salary to maximize your i401k plan or solo 401k plan. You can contribute up to $23,500 (for the 2025 tax year) plus $7,500 catch-up if 50 or older. Therefore, if you are 50 years old you might want your salary to be at least $33,100 (this leaves room for your portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes). There are instances where a $350,000 salary (for the 2025 tax year) might be the best solution given age-based profit sharing and defined benefits pensions.<\/p>\n<p>Oftentimes, these small business retirements plans are added to the traditional 401k plan to \u201cturbocharge\u201d them. It seems crazy to want to pay a $345,000 salary when one of the resounding themes is to have a low salary, but there could be significant tax savings. See Chapter 12 which is dedicated to self-employed retirement plans for more details or this link-<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/business-services\/turbocharged-401k\/\" rel=\"noopener\">wcginc.com\/turbo<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_Insurance_Floor\"><\/span>Health Insurance Floor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another competing interest, or at least a factor, is health insurance and HSA contributions. Generally, you must have income subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes that are equal to or higher than your health insurance premiums. Huh?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you have not elected S Corp tax treatment on your LLC, and your LLC has a net ordinary business income after expenses and deductions of $10,000. This is subject to self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare). If your health insurance premiums are $15,000, only $10,000 would be deducted as self-employed health insurance (a direct adjustment to income) and the $5,000 remainder would be deducted on Schedule A subject to those limitations.<\/p>\n<p>Same thing in S Corp land. If your self-employed health insurance is $15,000 per year, you must pay yourself at least $15,000 in salary to be able to fully deduct the premiums as self-employed health insurance. Your $15,000 salary is subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes just like your $10,000 LLC income above.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<style data-type=\"vc_shortcodes-custom-css\">#wd-6915e3dd2a9b5 .info-box-title{line-height:40px;font-size:30px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-6915e3dd2a9b5 .info-box-inner{line-height:26px;font-size:16px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-6915e437409dd .info-box-title{line-height:40px;font-size:30px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-6915e437409dd .info-box-inner{line-height:26px;font-size:16px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-68460c16bff16 .info-box-title{line-height:60px;font-size:50px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-68460c16bff16 .info-box-inner{line-height:26px;font-size:16px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-687b937e0887f .info-box-title{line-height:26px;font-size:16px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-687b937e0887f .info-box-inner{line-height:22px;font-size:12px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-687b9384e0d51 .info-box-title{line-height:26px;font-size:16px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-687b9384e0d51 .info-box-inner{line-height:22px;font-size:12px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-687b938a8f4b3 .info-box-title{line-height:26px;font-size:16px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-687b938a8f4b3 .info-box-inner{line-height:22px;font-size:12px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-68bcf7fc8516a .info-box-title{line-height:40px;font-size:30px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-68bcf7fc8516a .info-box-inner{line-height:26px;font-size:16px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-68bcfccd83cf7 .info-box-title{line-height:46px;font-size:36px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-68bcfccd83cf7 .info-box-inner{line-height:26px;font-size:16px;color:#473d3c;}@media (max-width: 1199px) {#wd-6915e3dd2a9b5 .info-box-title{line-height:34px;font-size:24px;}#wd-6915e3dd2a9b5 .info-box-inner{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}#wd-6915e437409dd .info-box-title{line-height:34px;font-size:24px;}#wd-6915e437409dd .info-box-inner{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}#wd-68460c16bff16 .info-box-title{line-height:50px;font-size:40px;}#wd-687b937e0887f .info-box-title{line-height:25px;font-size:15px;}#wd-687b9384e0d51 .info-box-title{line-height:25px;font-size:15px;}#wd-687b938a8f4b3 .info-box-title{line-height:25px;font-size:15px;}#wd-68bcf7fc8516a .info-box-title{line-height:34px;font-size:24px;}#wd-68bcf7fc8516a .info-box-inner{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}#wd-68bcfccd83cf7 .info-box-title{line-height:36px;font-size:26px;}#wd-68bcfccd83cf7 .info-box-inner{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}}@media (max-width: 767px) {#wd-6915e3dd2a9b5 .info-box-title{line-height:28px;font-size:18px;}#wd-6915e3dd2a9b5 .info-box-inner{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}#wd-6915e437409dd .info-box-title{line-height:28px;font-size:18px;}#wd-6915e437409dd .info-box-inner{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}#wd-68460c16bff16 .info-box-title{line-height:40px;font-size:30px;}#wd-687b937e0887f .info-box-title{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}#wd-687b9384e0d51 .info-box-title{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}#wd-687b938a8f4b3 .info-box-title{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}#wd-68bcf7fc8516a .info-box-title{line-height:28px;font-size:18px;}#wd-68bcf7fc8516a .info-box-inner{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}#wd-68bcfccd83cf7 .info-box-title{line-height:28px;font-size:18px;}#wd-68bcfccd83cf7 .info-box-inner{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}}<\/style><div class=\"wpb-content-wrapper\">[vc_row][vc_column]\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6915e3dd2a9b5\" class=\" wd-rs-6915e3dd2a9b5 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-center box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title kb \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Jason Watson, CPA, is a Partner and the CEO of <strong>WCG CPAs &amp;
