[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how exactly is she making north of fifteen dollars an hour? forty hours of work at $7.25/hour is $290.

if she were making $15 an hour for thirty hours, she would make $450 per week. please, enlighten us to how she is making more than $15 an hour. please.

those who are saying that she is not paying taxes at that low rate are also incorrect. she would make $13,920 a year. she will still owe taxes, including medicare and social security. in new york, for example, she would have an approximately $1600 tax burden (over $1,000 of which is federal/FICA income taxes).

Okay, this is crazy!  $7.25/ hour AFTER taxes for 40 hours (and working 30)

$15/hour BEFORE taxes for 30 hours

$7.25*40=290/30=$9.67 AFTER taxes
$15*30=$450 BEFORE taxes

Having made about that last year, no dependents, just myself, my take home per week was $350.  350/30=11.67/ hour AFTER taxes.

It’s not exactly the same.  But it’s a heck of a lot better than most people get for their first position.  Nobody pays a brand-new live-in nanny $15/hour.  It just doesn’t happen without prior references.[/quote]
