How to Pay Yourself from Your LLC
As an LLC owner, you have several options for paying yourself. The right choice depends on your LLC's tax structure and cash flow.
Owner's Draw (Default LLC)
Simply transfer money from your business account to your personal account. No payroll taxes, but you'll pay self-employment tax on all profits at tax time.
Salary (S-Corp Election)
If your LLC elects S-Corp status, you can pay yourself a reasonable salary. This can reduce self-employment tax on profits above your salary.
