SM / Director here, trying to understand the comp implications of K1 vs W2 income. From my research (combo of googling + ChatGPT), it seems like $100 of pre-tax K1 income is roughly equivalent to $80 of pre-tax W2 income…owing to increased FICA, full fare Health Insurance, no 401k matching and other smaller things. Said another way, to match a $450k MD W2 salary, one would need $550-600k Partner K1 pay. Does that feel about right? I came away somewhat surprised by the K1 hit.
