The salary amount listed in job ads is the gross amount (before taxes). Your actual take home pay or net amount depends on how many exemptions you take on your W-4.

So a $40,000 year job on 24 payment cycles might net you $30,400 or $1,266.67 each pay period (based on a 76% tax rate). However your actual net income may be reduced further depending on pre-tax deductions like - health insurance, life insurance, dental ,vision, 401K, etc.

I hope this helped.

That is before taxes. Tax liability is different for each person, depends on married or single, buying home or renting, a lot of things. Typically, the bring home on 40,000. for a single person with nothing but the standard deduction, after state, federal, medicare and FICA taxes would be around 29,000. to 31,000.

It is before taxes.

What is taken out depends on what you claim on your W4 and the state that you are in. A rough estimate is that 1/5- 1/4 will go to taxes.

That is before taxes. How much taxes are taken out is dependent upon how you fill out your W2 form.

That is before taxes.

As far as how much, it really depends on what state you live in, what occupation you're in, and what employer benefits are involved. Basically its a whole lot of variables involved.
