You'll only see 60-67% of your gross pay as take-home pay, after taxes. When you add up payroll taxes and income tax, that's about right.
So, if guarantee is 75, using 50 hrs of credit (75 x .66) for take-home pay should account for taxes, not the other way around.
You can make a bit of extra money by not spending per diem, but most people prefer to exclude that from the base wages since you might not get much flying on reserve.
