Mathematical Audit

How Notary Signing Agent Income Is Calculated

Income is calculated from weekly signings multiplied by the fee per signing, minus platform fees, travel costs, supplies, insurance, and self-employment taxes.

Weekly Gross = Signings Per Week × Avg Fee Per Signing
Monthly Gross = (Weekly Gross − Platform Fees) × 4.345
Monthly Gas Cost = (Miles Per Signing × Signings/Week × 4.345 ÷ MPG) × Gas Price
Monthly Net Before Tax = Monthly Gross − All Monthly Expenses
Monthly Take-Home = Net Before Tax − (Net Before Tax × SE Tax Rate)

Self-employment tax rate is 15.3% (12.4% Social Security + 2.9% Medicare). Actual tax liability depends on your total income and deductions. Consult a tax professional.
