Yup dead serious.... HOWEVER you need to take out tax... so after tax depending on (your tax is taken out BEFORE you get paid)
- How often you get paid (Weekly, semi-weekly, semi-monthly,monthly)
- How much you get paid
- Whether its Per Hour or Salary
Your pay using the example above would look like this (VARIES FROM STATE TO STATE):
WEEKLY:
Gross pay $250.00
Federal income tax $13.56
Social Security $10.50
Medicare $3.63
Georgia $5.58
Net pay (take home) $216.73
SEMI-MONTHLY
Gross pay $500.00
Federal income tax $25.21
Social Security $21.00
Medicare $7.25
Georgia $9.58
Net pay (take home) $436.96
BI-WEEKLY
Gross pay $500.00
Federal income tax $27.12
Social Security $21.00
Medicare $7.25
Georgia $11.15
Net pay (take home) $433.48
MONTHLY
Gross pay $1,000.00
Federal income tax $50.42
Social Security $42.00
Medicare $14.50
Georgia $19.17
Net pay (take home) $873.91
HOWEVER you have the opportunity to get back some of your taxes when you file your taxes, as you may have over paid taxes or you don't make enough to be "taxed".
I'm an intern IT Administrator, but i work roughly ~140 or more hours a month depending on if I am on holiday or not.
May seem a lot but things can get expensive here quickly....
