Can you help me figure out how much my paycheck will be??

Question

I was just offered an entry-level position @ $30,000.00. That equates to $2,500.00 a month gross. How do I figure out what my paycheck will be every two weeks? How do I figure out how much will be taken out if I claim no dependents. I live in New York state btw...

Answer 1

You're making $30,000 a year. $2,500 a month is the gross.

Take the gross amount for the month--$2,500

Divide it by the number of weeks you want to figure--2

$2,500 / 2 = $1,250

You will be making $1,250 every two weeks, $625 every week!

Have fun!

Answer 2

You should take 30% off the top for taxes and such.
That leaves you $21,000 a year.
Divided that by 26 you get $807.70 a pay check every two weeks. The 30% is a rough number. I don't know the exact taxes and such, but it works most of the time.

Answer 3

It depends on more info that you show in your question. Go to paycheckcity.com and fill in the info it asks for, and it will give you a very close estimate.
