My first paycheck of the month averaged in the $600-650 range, and the second paycheck of the month averaged in the $1500-1600 range. That is take home, with all per diem and whatever else, after taxes, etc. I have the family insurance, health, vision, and dental for the 4 of us (me, wife, 2 kids). There are lots of variables that go into the paycheck, but as was asked of by the original poster, this is what I made as a first year F.O.
