Taxes

Let’s be honest, paying taxes is one part of adulting most of us wish we could skip. FICA and income tax deductions are rarely a favorite topic, yet they fund essential programs like Social Security and public services. Understanding how taxes work is key to financial success, and at Breadwinners Academy, we make sure students aren’t caught off guard when they receive their first paycheck.

We believe financial literacy should be taught in a way that reaches all types of learners, whether through hands-on activities, visual aids, discussions, or real-world simulations. Our interactive approach ensures that each student not only understands taxes but can also calculate exactly how much will be deducted from their earnings.
