Platform pay is often reported gross. Paring fees and unpaid waiting to a residual mark requires instruments that collect those costs—or clear notes when the mouth cannot reach them.
What enters the shaving
Some tax-file and survey supplements name platform fees or self-employment expenses. When costs stay unmeasured, residual depth is an upper bound. Shoulder Plane keeps that caveat next to any quoted figure.
Limits of the iron
Cross-instrument comparison is fragile when cost definitions diverge. This desk does not turn a residual platform mark into household advice. Corrections: support@shoulderplane.online.
