from what i understand taxes as in the us would be (if they made 120k that year) 36,720 for self employment. but if you include health insurance, will use my states average 307 and will use my car insurance for 2 cars as an example 2,360 and since the devs car would be ineligible for a tax wright off as its not specifically for business that would all come to 39,387Emphasis on 'pre-tax.' I get that you don't make much money and have clearly never been self employed because they get fucked in the bum by taxes.
And that money does actually have to be invested into his game production first, otherwise it's just fraud. And we know that at the bare minimum they're paying for a programmer and an artist. And depending on where he lives the flat, bare minimum COL can be around 1800 USD for rent and utilities. Which is splitting the medium between the most expensive places in the US and bumfuck nowhere, USA. I'm going to assume the creator of a porn game probably lives in a more expensive, left leaning part of the world and not Conservativia.
And of course there's still health insurance to consider. And any other monthly expenses that might come up- car payments, car insurance, upkeep, food. They have to invest in their own retirement, that also costs.
A company with an operating budget of 10,000 USD a month can spend that in the blink of an eye. They're not actually taking 10,000 USD home, they're probably taking less than half that home.
witch for you that don't want to do the math is 80,613 after tax. if we only look at it like this but there living expense. will use my state again for presumably one person witch is 2k ish not including rent and as you said lets say artist and programmer are both getting paid 1800 that would bring everything to 75,013 roughly
in conclusion 75,013 in earrings and 44,987 spent to essentially maintain the cash flow and to live so brotha ballen
brought to you by pocket watchers they guy that had nothing to do.
