    Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you calculate the “value” of one’s labour? Like how would you do this for a school teacher?

    Different schools have different pay grades, different subjects, etc.

      The owner of the construction company is being paid for the work that their employees do. All of that money, after expenses, does not go to the people who did the actual construction.

      If a private school makes 100 million a year in profit and pays you, the only employee 6 million that would be 6 percent of your value. I think.
