Net pay is determined by subtracting any deductions from gross pay --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE: You worked 45 hours last week and pay is $10/hr. What is your gross pay? Deductions: 10% federal income tax, 6.2% social security, 1.45% Medicare What is your NET PAY? 40 x $10 = $400 regular pay 5 x $15 = $75 overtime pay (1 ½ x regular pay) Gross Pay = $475 $475 x 10% = $47.50 federal income tax $475 x 6.2% = $29.45 social security $475 x 1.45% = $6.89 medicare Totals Deductions = 47.50 + 29.45 + 6.89 = $83.84 $475 – 83.84 = $391.16 net pay (a.k.a. take home pay)

Double the Salary An employee starting a new job has the option to choose how he is paid for the first twenty days of work. He works five days a week, for four full weeks. Make the best choice for the new employee after comparing the two options. Payment Option 2: The pay will be $0.01 for the first day. Each day the pay will double. So, it will be $0.02 the second day, $0.04 the third day, $0.08 the fourth day, etc. By the end of twenty days, how much money will the employee have made? Payment Option 1: For the first twenty days of work, the new employee will be paid $500 a day.

Double the Salary Payment Option 1: $500.00 a day * 20 days = $10,000 $ 0.01 Day 11 10.24 Day 2 .02 Day 12 20.48 Day 3 .04 Day 13 40.96 Day 4 .08 Day 14 81.92 Day 5 .16 Day 15 163.84 Day 6 .32 Day 16 327.68 Day 7 .64 Day 17 655.36 Day 8 1.28 Day 18 1310.72 Day 9 2.56 Day 19 2621.44 Day 10 5.12 Day 20 5242.88 Total: $10,485.75

Solution Payment Option 1: $500.00 a day * 20 days = $10,000.00 This is a better choice for the new employee as he will be making $10,485.75 This is $485.75 more than if he would have chosen Payment Option 1
