Poll: How much do you make per year?

[Chaotic42]

Before taxes, from your job only (no stocks, interest, etc).

Also, how much after taxes? Here is a currency converter.

I make about $11,830 before taxes, and $9,464 after taxes. Assuming I get my new job, this will increase to about $27,000 and $21,330 respectively.

Do you feel you should be making more?

For what I do, I think I'm a bit underpaid, since more useless people at work make the same as I do. It's not a big complaint though.

Except for the person that doesn't have a job, I make the least money here.

 

[notfred]

$24k last year. It sounds pretty weak, but not bad considering I'm still in school.

 

[fs5]

I probably make around $23k a year, but considering what I do that's WAY too low.

Not e-fvcking-nough!

Right now? I just started a 2nd full time job, if I worked both for a full year I'd make about $50K.

Last year I made about $31K, this year I'll probably top $40K, depends on how long it is before I get laid off.

I created a salary poll last year (albeit for full-timers)... it was a nice bell curve around the 40k mark.

Now that it's an archived thread, the poll is defunct. :|

30k euro = $36k

I have low professional ambitions

Is $36k a low/decent/good salary in the USA ????

 

[CraigRT]

20 something US probably.
I do eventually intend on making more.

It's just slightly above average for an adult. I think the median income in the US is $60k/family.

Depends. In Los Angeles it's bad. Where I live it's ok. Where I lived in Indiana it's very good. Where my friend lived in West Virginia, it was excellent.

Somewhere in the 8th option.

(Excluding investment income.)

Here in NJ that is a salary for poor people. You wouldn't be able to get by on that and expect to have a decent life.

There is one caveat: Because I work for an Instrumentality of a foreign government that has no domestic federal tax number, I pay twice as much for social security and medicare. Then again, I do get 5-6 weeks vacation per year too!

 

[Lithium381]

yeah i think i did around 13k before taxes, and 10 something after.....not bad for part time while doing school!

 

[Aharami]

45.5

 

[Nitemare]

Will be bringing in 12-13k for just my part-time job

 

[Zombie]

I fall under 50k-74k but I might make a little more than that this year .

 

[CPA]

Do I include bonus?

 

[DrNoobie]

Even on minimum wage I manage to bring in 18K a year. Gotta love those 60-70 hour work weeks.

Same here. I hope to be in the 9th option in the next couple of years.

Of course, my take home is somewhere in the 6th option. But that includes deductions for taxes, 401k, health and dental insurance for 2 adults and 4 kids, health care reimbursement account, etc.
