How much is he taking home?  Reply with quote  

Hello everyone, I have a friend who works for a corporate company and his salary is 70,000 a year. This is before any tax the company takes or any income tax, so basically that is gross. Another friend of mine makes 4500 a month net, this is including income tax and everything. I was just wondering who is making more, I didn't ask anymore questions because I did not want to seem nosy, that is why I did not ask the 70,000 guy because it might seem to personal if I said what is your actual net income that you actually get to keep.
If anyone can break it down to me I thank you in advance.

One factor we would not know is state income tax which can range from nothing to 11.5% or more. Another factor is whether they contribute to a company sponsored retirement plan (401k, etc.).

For example I am contributing 20% of gross income to my 401k. And I am having more than normal federal tax withheld to cover IRA to Roth IRA conversions. So my after contribution/tax net pay does not include money being socked away for the future.

You could get a rough idea by using tax forms from irs.gov (and your state dept of revenue) using standard deductions.

Lets just assume the tax exemptions are all equal. I am just talking about take home pay, after the normal tax a corporation would take and the income tax. Lets just assume he has not put any money into his 401k or anything like that yet, would Mr. $ 70,000 gross be making more than Mr. $54000 net at the end of the year?

Oh I forgot to mention that everything about them would also be the same, as in they live in the same state, both single, etc.
