Your W-2 salary pushes your LLC income into a higher tax bracket — which means every business expense gets a bigger write-off than you’d think. These calculators show you that discount.
Why Your Day Job Increases Your Write-Offs
The IRS taxes your W-2 salary and LLC profit together on one return. Your salary fills up the lower tax brackets first, so your LLC income lands in a higher bracket. When you write off an LLC expense, you’re removing dollars from that top bracket — where the rate is highest. Higher bracket = bigger savings on every deduction.
