How much should I pay myself?

The page as a decision. Drag your monthly pay: the business’s runway and yours move against each other while the combined number stays put, and the slider shades the range that covers your life and keeps the business above six months.

A working copy of os.esy.com/agency/runway. Every number is a sample: a one-person agency, Esy LLC, and its owner’s own accounts. Scroll inside the window; the sliders and switches work.

How much should I pay myself?

Drag it. Esy LLC’s runway and yours move against each other; the two together don’t move at all, because paying yourself only moves money between your own accounts.

Each side’s burn is its average over the last three closed months with your pay taken out, then your pay put back at the slider’s amount. Every number here is a sample: a one-person agency, built to show the layout. No real account is read.
