payrise!

August 27th, 2008 at 03:35 am

It's my 21st on Tuesday, and I get a payrise! I decided I have put it off long enough, trying to not get myself too excited about the prospect of a boost to go to savings, but it is less than a week away now, so it's time to do the figures:

JOB 1:
Old Wage: ($16.16 p/h gross)
Net: $328.50

JOB 2:
Old Wage: $14.00 p/h gross)
Net: $175.00

Total: $503.50

and now, added with the *approximate* new wage:

JOB 1:
New Wage: ($18.47 p/h gross)
Net: $367.34

JOB 2:
New Wage: ($17.50 p/h gross)
Net: $214.50

Total: $581.84

That's an extra $78 a week I can put into savings. I also get $60 a fortnight from my dad, which means my income is bumped up to just over $600 a week.

    Excellent! I'm curious... did you get a raise because you are now 21 or was it scheduled and you just happen to be turning 21?

    analise and silloleme: in australia when you are paid on the federal award wage system your wage goes up in incremements each year until you are 21 - then it's the same until you are 50+. (this is mainly for hospitality and the retail service industry)
