Family insurance depends on benefit level (for me= $190/month)
Making around $3465/month before taxes year one plus whatever the bonus is now. (If we still have one)

The good/bad news is that reserves are used and abused everyday so you will most likely get more than the 75 hours a month. Line holders get around 83 hours a month.

Hope this helps.
