Mike Scully briefs on The Endless Money Loop
🏈🏌🏥Attention Non-Profit Leaders (Athletic Depts, Healthcare Systems, Private Country Clubs, Credit Unions): Your highest-paid W-2 executives are leaving 45–50% of every incremental dollar on the table. Here’s why—and how Baycrest’s Endless Money Loop™ (EML) fixes it.
The Core Issue
• W-2s lack write-offs—no deducting cars, travel, meals, etc.
• Top earners (>$500K–$1M+) get slammed at the highest marginal rates
Why Location Makes It Worse
• Progressive federal tax + state tax and local levies:
Philadelphia: ~ 4% city wage tax
San Francisco: ~1.5% city tax
Maryland counties: 2–3% local + state
• Combined rates can top 50%
Common Misconceptions & Limits
• “Dropping a bracket” only applies to that marginal dollar
• Your 401(k) caps ($23K/$30.5K) and Roth IRA limits ($7K; AGI phase-out) and are trivial at scale
The Bigger Problem
High-income W-2s:
• No expense write-offs
• Capped retirement vehicles
• Stranded in top brackets
Result: Nearly half of each extra dollar → taxes
Enter Endless Money Loop™
• Convert deferred comp into a split-dollar life policy
• Zero income caps or tiny contribution limits
• Grow cash value tax-deferred & share death benefit
• Employee & employer both build real, retrievable assets, employer recoups in 15 years or upon the passing of the employee
