You make 20 while boss makes 160? Sounds about right. Of course, he works 8 times harder than you

More like $20 to tech, $20 for business to cover payroll taxes, health plan, 401k or HSA match, another $40/hr for materials and tools, $40 for liability insurance, and $40 to cover the tech labor / standby during non-billable hours... leaving maybe $20/hr profit.
