Business Owner Income Distributor

by chegobuilds

You started your business to build something of your own — but nobody told you how complicated it would get to actually pay yourself. Between taxes, business expenses, and trying to plan ahead, figuring out your take-home can feel like guesswork.

This tool takes the guesswork out of it.

What It Is

The Business Owner Income Distributor is an interactive Excel spreadsheet built specifically for self-employed business owners who want a clear, organized picture of where their money is going every single pay period.

You start with one number: what you want to take home bi-weekly. The tool works backwards from there, calculating exactly what monthly gross revenue your business needs to generate to make that happen.

No more waiting until the end of the month to figure out what you can pay yourself.

What's Inside

📊 Income & Distribution Setup Enter your bi-weekly take-home target and instantly see your full financial picture required monthly gross, tax set-asides, operating expenses, savings, reinvestment, and your owner's reserve, all broken down by month and per pay period.

🗺️ Built-in State Tax Rates for All 50 States Select your state from a dropdown and your state income tax rate auto-fills. No research, no manual entry.

📋 Step-by-Step Instructions Built right into the file so you always know where to start.

This Is for You If...

• You're self-employed or running your own business
• You've been winging your pay or paying yourself inconsistently
• You want to set aside the right amount for taxes without stress
• You're ready to treat your business finances with intention

How It Works

1. Enter your desired bi-weekly take-home amount
2. Set your federal tax bracket and select your state
3. Customize how you want to allocate your revenue
4. Watch everything calculate automatically — monthly and bi-weekly

That's it. Update it each month as your revenue comes in and always know exactly where you stand.
