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.

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.
