Things this model deliberately doesn't capture

Ramp time A new private practice does not fill 20 weekly slots on day one. Realistic ramp is 6–18 months to steady-state; Year 1 will typically come in at 40–60% of the target shown here. Plan Year 1 living expenses accordingly.
Insurance vs. cash pay Insurance panels fill the caseload faster but reimburse $90–130 vs. $175–250 cash pay, and add 5–8 hrs/week of billing and credentialing work. The expense slider doesn't capture that labor cost.
W-2 alternative Senior clinician roles at high-end practices (Skyland Trail, Bradford, Eating Recovery Center) pay $110–140k base with benefits and zero billing overhead. Compare against the take-home line, not the gross.
Tax estimate is rough Tiered effective rate model: ~22% / 26% / 30% / 33% by net income band, accounting for SE tax, federal progressive brackets, and GA's 5.39% flat rate. S-corp election shaves ~4–5pp on net above $100k. A real CPA will optimize further.
