If you are the sole owner and the only employee working for
your own corporation, and you make $30k in wages this year,
but the corp made a net profit of 400k, then the most you
can contribute to a SEP is .25 of $30k only?

No.

A SEP IRA in this case is funded by the corporation and the
contributions are a percentage of the employee's salary.
