Knowing how you actually pay yourself depends on the structure that you choose for your business.
Sole proprietors usually pay themself in drawings.
A company is using a salary through a payroll or sometimes dividend.
A trust is usually via distributions.
And here comes the it depends: how you set up your business tells you how to pay yourself.
How much you can afford is the biggest factor in what you can or can not pay yourself.
If you want to get your bookkeeping in order so you know exactly what to take out, how much you need to pay yourself and how much you take home go ahead and send me a DM or click the link in my bio to consult.
