This math doesn't add up 78k is 6.5/mo?
It doesn’t. They just didn’t read the actual link.
That’s $2194 semi monthly. So $4400 a month.
The calculator defaults to semi-monthly and I think the original commenter didn't change it. Also, it defaults to your current location so the take-home will be different for everyone running the calculator (because taxes). $78k is $6500 a month BEFORE TAXES.
I was gonna say, I made 2k/month take home at 28k.
They may have taken the "semi-monthly take home pay" to be monthly instead, and the calculator counts after taxes.
So it's twice what they think it is, and four times what average rent is. You can change it to monthly, and it's more like $4,500 depending on where you live.
right, 2000*12 is 24,000. The missing 200 amounts to about 2400. So, 26,400 take home.
Means this person is losing 50k in taxes if their take home is 2190 a month and they make 78k
