$27 versus $19 per hour isn't that much difference in the end after taxes. Keep in mind that the more you make the more you're taxed. Do some number crunching using a tax software program like Quicktax and compare the net outcome of the two salaries.

that is very true. you might end up in a totally different tax bracket, and if you consider your benefits, time off, and time spent commuting, it may not be worth it at all

what is the job about though? if its mindless assembly or manufactring work, you may want to pass it up

imo

i would think about all the bills you have to pay. and all the mouths you have to feed.

from my collection of you thru these boards I remember you saying you have a kid or two and are married own a new car and a new house.

IMO its a big risk to leave the current job for a 90 day trial.

Actually $27 over $19 will be a considerable amount even after taxes.

$19 an hour is about $40K a year.
$27 an hour is about $56K a year.
Based on 40 Hours work week.

Your bi-weekly checks on $19/hr would be about $1000 after tax.
$27/hr would be around $1450 after taxes.

Same bracket, you'll see much more money.

If your wife have a good benefit take the contract, your wife would be back you up if somethin happens to you... If she doesnt dont take it...

Contract doesnt get benefits that is why you get money...

1950 working hours in 1 year

$19/hr = $37,050 per year
$27/hr = $52,560 per year

$52,560 - 37,050 = $15,600 difference

assuming tax @ 33% rate ($5,148 in taxes)

you're looking at an annual increase of $10,452

It's always risky leaving a good job for another without a guarantee that you'll keep the new job without getting fired/laidoff because your lack of seniority.....how well do you know the managment of the company your thinking of swtiching to?
