BreadTruth was created to address the alarming rate at which professional athletes experience financial distress following their retirement. Despite signing contracts worth millions, a significant percentage of players face bankruptcy within five years of leaving their sport.
The primary reason for this financial instability is a lack of accessible information regarding the actual net income derived from a professional contract. Athletes are often unaware of the substantial deductions — including federal and state taxes, agent commissions, league escrow, and the so-called “jock tax” — that reduce their headline salary to a significantly lower take‑home amount.
BreadTruth was built to bridge this information gap. Our tool provides a clear, instant estimate of an athlete’s net earnings based on publicly available tax rates and league rules. No registration is required. No data is collected or stored.
This website is operated by an independent developer who is not an accountant, financial advisor, or legal professional. For personalised advice, we strongly recommend consulting a certified professional.
