The matching percentage is multiplied by her net earnings.
Net earnings is net profit times .9235. (The amount on Line
4 of the short Schedule SE.)

Default SIMPLE IRA - Employer match computation

My wife has a $6000/year second job (self-employed). She
opened a SIMPLE IRA this year and contributed $2400. For
the employer match option, she chose to match contributions
up to 3% of earnings.

Question: Assuming that $6000 is also her net income,
should the earnings number that she bases her match on be
$6000 or $5541 (which is $6000 x .9235, deducting for 1/2 of
SE)?
