Old PuebloParticipantCurious if NIL money is treated sort of the same way in California? That has to be a disincentive if so.

ParticipantInteresting that people that won’t touch a six figure income a year worry about the taxes of a guy that makes $40mill per year. Puzzling.
the real math, even though I have an accounting background, I hire a CPA to do my taxes, this is how I see it. Anyone with tax code expertise can correct me but if you’re just some message board douche with an agenda you can STFU.
Assuming ~$40M total comp, 200 duty days, 7 CA days for Super Bowl:
allocated income ~$1.4M, taxed at 13.3% ≈$186k. Bonus $178k, also taxed in CA ≈$24k, net gain after CA tax ~$146k (before federal/other). Full net depends on credits from home state (WA has no income tax).

ParticipantYa have a hard time believing anyone in here is sub six figures, but who knows. Maybe if they are retired but even then. 50 bucks an hour is starting wage according to every recent college grad I have talked to, at least that’s what they were told. But I get your sentiment.
