We work with business owners across Canada and we're often asked about the difference between salary and dividends. If you own a business through a corporation, you have the ability to pay yourself a salary, dividends or a combination of the two.

We look at the difference between salary and dividends and the main advantages and disadvantages of each. Plus we go over our model (spoiler alert it's a bit of both) and why that works best for us.

Not everyone has the same business, financial, or lifestyle goals and there are a lot of moving pieces and things to consider. Luckily we like talking about this stuff, so give us a shout if you have any questions.
