Does Paramount Tax & Accounting’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
Partly. Besides sales, Paramount Tax & Accounting’s Item 19 reports “Average Net Income, franchised outlets” and “Median Net Income, franchised outlets”. Each figure follows the franchisor’s own definition in Item 19, which decides which costs are deducted and whether an owner’s salary is one of them. None of them is necessarily an owner’s take-home pay.

Item 19 (PDF pages 47-49) reports 2025 gross sales, marketing costs, other expenses, royalties and net income for 43 franchised outlets; franchised gross sales ranged from $60,174 to $5,876,395. It excludes 57 outlets that had not completed a full tax season before 2025, opened during the year or were part-time. A separate table covers the 2 affiliate-owned outlets; most of the Draper, Utah outlet's sales came from tax planning involving mineral property donations and conservation easements, which the FDD says may be phased out.
