After deductions (including 10% to 401k) and being placed on R1 reserve, there isn't even per diem to count on. So yeah, if the numbers seem off to you, run them again at 79.60*50=$3980/month BEFORE deductions. Subtract 10% I'm at roughly $3582. It's real easy to have $1,000 worth of deductions for the month, leaving me with slightly more than $2500 for the month.

Trust me, I'm not trying to make up small numbers. The pay statements don't lie.
