As of the period ending 5/31

$39,031 total pay
$28,335 after taxes/deductions

$6,856.26 average per month with the bonus
$4,939.59 average per month without the bonus

This includes per diem and performance bonuses

What's interesting is, I left Endeavor early last year (8 year FO pay scale) and those numbers are more than my first year pay at Spirit.

140ish hours credit a few months, 120ish for most of the rest.

How many referral bonuses is in that? Because I'm averaging about the same in terms of credit and I'm not near that net pay on 5/31.

S5.

4th year FO.

Average monthly net = $2500

Low? Yes.

Why?

Max state & fed taxes deducted. Max 401(k) deduction (15% of gross). Medical insurance premium of $430/month for low deductible/no deductible legacy medical insurance. NEVER pick up open time, average 16 days off/month. Average monthly credit = 88-94 hrs.

Only one referral bonus.

Not sure what math you are using, but your numbers don't add up. $39031 / 5 = $7806.20. $28335 / 5 = $5667.00

Why are you maxing out your fed/state tax withholding? Are you getting a massive refund each year? If you are then every paycheck you are giving Uncle Sam an interest free loan. Reduce your withholding and give yourself that money each month.

We have been paid 2 out of 3 retention bonuses so far this year, so it would be unfair to just do a straight division.

Instead: $39,031 - $14,333 (2 bonus payments) = $24,698

$24,698 / 5 = $4,939

$4,939 + (23,000/12) = $6,856

Does that make sense?

Son. You don't know me nor my situation. I didn't ask for tax advice. I can assure you that at 7 years prior to mandatory retirement that my tax situation is completely different from yours.

Your advice is unwelcome, ignorant and didn't address the OP's question.

Thank you.

You would laugh if you knew what it was here. Second year pay is not much better, as my paycheck still seems to be negative....lol. With that being said, I like the people I work with, just the pay and hotels are pathetic.
