Officer compensation is added back to net income to determine officer comp as a percentage of net income after expenses (profit). Next, this is all industries from capital intensive manufacturing to personal services business such as attorneys, doctors, consultants, engineers and accountants. More data to follow in a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Also, this includes S Corps who lost money, and whether they lost money and continued to pay a reasonable shareholder salary (Officer Compensation) is unclear. In other words, if losses were teased out would Officer Compensation be reduced as a percentage of net income? We cannot quickly determine from the IRS data.<\/p>\n<p>Here is one more nugget to chew on. As compared to 2013, the Officer Compensation as a percentage of Net Income (far right column) has decreased 2-3% for each Annual Receipts category.<\/p>\n<p>The following tables are from 2013. The IRS has stopped bifurcating gross receipts per return on an industry basis alongside groupings of gross receipts. While this data is seemingly stale, it adds more perspective to the previous table. First one is $100,000 to $249,999 in gross receipts-<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 90%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: bottom; text-align: left; width: 28%;\" width=\"26%\"><strong>$100,000 to $249,999<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: bottom;

As businesses grow, they have an assembled workforce who contribute to the revenue more than the officers (shareholders).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The IRS had a footnote on Health Care (and other industries) where because of privacy concerns, certain data is not reported. Additionally, Securities, Finance is not the same as Finance and Insurance (close, but not the same).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Check out Manufacturing and Retail as compared to Professional, Scientific and Health Care. Professional, Scientific and Health Care industries will generally have officers (shareholders) who are more impactful to the overall revenue generation and operations of the business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Professional, Scientific has the second lowest average officer compensation, but the second highest as a percentage of net ordinary business income after expenses and deductions. This would suggest this sector is highly fractured with several smaller businesses (all S Corps however).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not read too much into the Officer Compensation Percentage of Net Income figures. These are illustrative only, and do not purport to be a rule or recommendation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There you go. Remember that Officer Compensation includes all fringe benefits such as self-employed health insurance and HSA contributions, and it might be influenced (increased) by those who want to maximize 401k deferrals, profit sharing plans and defined benefits pensions \/ cash balance plans. In other words, people with more discretionary cash wanting to defer taxes might increase salaries to do so.[\/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;
