What is your net take home pay every two weeks?

[JMP]

I have read many posts regarding pay rates. However, once deductions and such have been taken out, what are you left with post tax, benefits, etc.

Can you tell me the state or province you are in also?

Thanks.

I live in Ontario Canada, gross about 1700.00 every two weeks, bring home net about 1200.00 How does that compare? I am in critical care. My deductions are about 300 for tax, 100 for other government stuff, like unemployment insurance, and then the rest is for dental, long term disability, union dues ( 50 bucks a month for union dues) etc.

Appreciate input! Thanks J.

Lately I've been doing fairly well..only because we are so short staffed and I've been doing lots of OT with "bonus pay" of 6 bucks an hour. When I get both of those I am making a lil more than 40 bucks an hour :) Worked too much OT and now I am sick though, so there is a down side to it :/

GEEEEEEZZZZ!!!! You have got to be kidding me!!!!!! $3000 and more!!!!?????!!!!! The MOST I have ever made in the last four years of being a nurse in OK, MO, and ARK, was probably $1200, and that was the ODD paycheck on the fifth week of the month when no insurance was taken out!!!! Right now, I am making about the same as I have for the last year..... sixteen something an hour plus night shift diff and weekend dif. somewhere around $950 q2weeks. Surely to goodness the cost of living here isnt that much less!!!!!

:O:O

I work in LTC in Kansas as MDS Coordinator. My pay is about $1300 after taxes q2wks. I do work 4-10hr shifts, no weekends, but on call every 5th weekend. I have 7 yrs experience as RN.

Hey, Nurs4kids, maybe I should take up lap-dancing, too! They make more and any butt-chewing they get is oh-so welcome!!

People really are making more than I am. Ugh. I bring home about 1,200 q 2 weeks with no OT. Now, i normally work OT because we are paid double time, and even though I now gross an enormous amount of cash, I take home about 1600. But, I do usually get an enormous tax refund so, i can wait for it. My cost of living is also really not very much. For instance my last power bill for an entire month was 45.00

I do have 300.00 USD taken out of my check every two weeks for my very exciting tiaa cref retirement account. so I guess without the retirement savings my 1600 would almost be 1900- I almost feel better now.

Take home every two weeks is 966.00 and this is with 3 exemptions. I'll have to change it back to 1 soon for the last six months of this year so I get SOMETHING back on my taxes and don't have to pay. Community health just doesn't pay...and this is with a new wage scale after a new union contract!

Pardon my ignorance here, but I thought the exemptions allowed you to keep more of your take home pay? What am I missing here.
