Hi, I had a quick question about police salary. The local department here states that the salary of an entry level officer is about $40,000 for the first 6 months. However, how much do you actually get at the end of the year after taxes are taken out and everything, or does this figure include those deductions? Is it more like $35,000 or lower? Thanks for any info.

Depending on your tax deduction status you'll take home about 70 - 75% of your pay check. Anyway that's what the math says on mine. One thing I've learned? Claim zero on your w2......always, I'd rather get back .25 then have to pay in.Sometimes, doing the right thing means p***ing off the bosses.

An important factor is the amount of overtime, premium pay, holiday pay, and so on that you might expect to get. In some agencies this is close to zero, and in others it's huge. At my old agency, just about everyone can expect 5-10% above their base salary for these things, and a hard charger could almost double his income.
The stated salary in a job announcement will always be the "before deductions" figure. Figuring your precise take-home is much more difficult, as it varies with each individual situation.Tim Dees, now writing as a plain old forum member, his superpowers lost to an encounter with gold kryptonite.

As a rule of thumb I usually expect about 75% of my income. The federal government steals 20-25%. I don't pay a state income tax but if you're in Oregon you can expect the State to take it's cut out of your pay as well.
Also depending on your needs, you may have significant deductions for health/dental/vision insurance, a 401k (or IRA), etc.

With everything taken out, I get 69% of my hourly pay. That's why when I work overtime, I just call it taxed-free working. I actually GET my base hourly pay plus 70 cents when I work OT."The majority of people are sheep. Wolves prey on the sheep. You are the sheepdog.

Taxes is just a portion of what you'll lose off of your paycheck. Expect your net income to be anywhere from 60-70% of your gross income (depending on your many deductions)....And then here comes the bills
