Payroll

What is the rule of thumb for how much to pay yourself as a salary (with respect to total anticipated gross income) in order to not have to take out a line of credit in slow season?

What you pay yourself depends on what you need to spend. According to the IRS, business owners should pay themselves a "reasonable salary” but that term is not defined.
