My pay cheques vary a lot since I work shift work so it's hard to calculate a definitive answer without having to look at my history over long term and average it out, but I'd say I bring in roughly $1,500 to $2,000 per pay, so we'll say $3,500 per month. That comes up to 42k per year and I make around 80k on paper, so that rough calculation seems to check out. That's not counting any bills or other deductions that come out from the bank though, if you count those then it would be more like 5k/year.
