First year FO pay
 

Hello,

Was told that during training we get 75 hrs X 96$ an hr pay. (2025)
Can anyone share what that $ looks like biweekly after taxes and Heath insurance have been taken out?
Just trying to budget.
Also, do we get a per diem during training?
Please and thanks!

The quick math is generally to multiply your gross by 0.75 - 0.80 to account for taxes and insurance.
That will get you pretty close.

You get per diem 16 hours a day throughout training.
You get 64 hours of pay (not 75) in training.
Net pay is subject to a ton of variables. Try using the ADP paycheck calculator.

So 1.95 * 16 * 75 (assuming 75 days of training) = 2340$ in per diem
64 * 96 = 6144$

Does $8,484 sound right in regards to total training pay before taxes?

One of your calculations is 75 days the other is monthly. You have no idea how long training will be - some have gaps (long and lots of them), some go straight through. If you change the 75 to 30 in your formula, you’ll be spot on per-month.

Thanks! I appreciate it

You got it! And of course per diem is non-taxable.

I got a rough estimate of around the $9,000 mark for training. I can't remember where exactly I saw it but it was somewhere in ADP I think.

The short answer is no.

Taxes will depend on what state you live in and whether you have a spouse, spouses income and any dependents.
Health insurance also depends what you choose. most companies offer a low-cost, low-coverage plan and a high(er) cost, high(er) coverage plan. Insurance for you is much cheaper than spouse or dependents.

As noted above, a web-based takehome pay calculator will get pretty close for the tax part.

Thanks for the input. That is higher than I thought/expected.
Do you mind breaking that down?
