How You Can Reduce Your Taxes and Increase
Your After-tax Income with NOI

Consider Self-employment's Disadvantages:

  • You pay the full 15.3% FICA tax
  • Your health insurance is paid with after-tax dollars -- costing you more
  • Benefits cost more and often provide less than for corporate employees
  • Credit approval often more difficult without a payroll history
  • Required to make quarterly estimated tax payments or pay penalties and interest

Now Consider the Advantage:

Example is for a self-employed person earning $45,000 per year.

Contact NOI for a comparison based on your annual income.


*

This illustration assumes no difference in cost of health insurance. The NOI program affords $200 deductible, $10 per visit, $600 maximum deductible per family, and a $5 million aggregate coverage.

**

As a NOI employee, 50% of the Social Security cost becomes a business expense (deducted from gross income before taxes) vs. the self employed concept where the gross income is fully subject for federal, state, and Social Security taxes.
