How to read this estimate

Annual pay is useful for comparison, while monthly, weekly, and bi-weekly figures make the same gross estimate easier to use for planning.

The weekly and bi-weekly views provide practical checkpoints for comparing the estimate with a typical pay schedule.

A bi-weekly estimate represents two 40-hour work weeks, not a semi-monthly paycheck. The alternate schedule also reduces both hours and weeks, making it useful for roles with limited annual availability. Match the time period to the employer schedule before comparing a WageVia estimate with an actual pay stub.

Gross pay, not take-home pay

Every amount on this page is gross income before federal, state, or local taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, and other payroll deductions. Use the figures to compare schedules and offers, not as a prediction of a specific paycheck or take-home amount.
