If someone makes 50k a year, how much his/her check be?

If someone makes 50k a year, how much his/her check be on the 10th and 25th of the month?

How much is taken out for tax,ss,etc in the state of IL?
They claim 0

Take out 65.00 a paycheck for ins, and 50.00 for 401k (pre tax?)

Thanks

well at 26 checks a year that's about 1900 per pay cycle minus the 115 mentioned above leaves 1785 as for state taxes i have no idea fed taxes depend on the number of dependants claimed.

depends on how many exemptions are claimed for state and federal tax, plus if there is any local tax.

rough guess: 50000 / 26 checks a year * 75% = ~ $1,442.31. YMMV

For a single person claiming 1 exemption (self) for federal and state with a 50,000 annual salary getting a paycheck twice a month:
Gross pay $2,083.33 for SS, Medicare, and net calculation
Gross pay $2,033.33 for federal and state tax calculation
Federal income tax $273.18
Social Security $129.17
Medicare $30.21
Illinois $58.50
Insurance $65.00
401(k) $50
Net pay $1,477.57

There are several variables that could change the amounts but this should give you a good idea. If married the federal and Illinois tax would go down. If more exemptions are claimed the federal and Illinois tax would go down.

Note: the OP said there are 2 checks per month not 26 per year

You need to set aside more than $50 x 24 pay periods in a year into your 401k. Doubling it would equal about 5% of gross salary.

Since they are not taking out items or I am not reading this part correctly "They claim 0"

I guess that claim 0 is ona W4 but the OP is unclear as it sounds ot me like the company is making the claim that 0 comes out for SS and the like. That would make sense if he is a contractor (non-1099 I think) where the employee is responsible for all taxes essentially.

Contractors aren't eligible for a 401(k), and generally don't have taxes withheld. Pretty sure the "claim 0" refers to W-4 withholding.

$50,000.00 will get you a take home around $30,000.00 (or more-ish).

Rough estimate but applicable most places in USA and Canada.
$30,000.00 divided by 52 weeks equals $575-ish take home per week. That is over $100.00 per day for 8 hours regular. This amount of money will keep you just above poverty levels if you have no dependants living in a city.

If you live (At Home) with no mortgage or rent, then you will be far better off.

Have a kid or two and then you are screwed. You need to be rich in America! Just kidding, you can get by on pennys too...not easy though.

Living further away from city centers means more bang for your buck. Eveybody knows this already.

this is true, there are parts of nj where if an individual makes less than $57k a year gross they qualify for low income housing.

Bull.

Only way that happens is if the person is an independent contractor (income reported on a 1099 form) rather than an employee (income reported on a W-2). In that case, the person MUST set aside their own money for these taxes, and file quarterly payments with the state and the IRS ("estimated tax payments").

And BE ADVISED that the rules for being an independent contractor (rather than an employee) are TOUGH and are getting tougher!

We believe that the 0 probably refers to the number of exemptions not how much money they take out. Look up a couple of posts...

Guessing even BASIC math was never your strong class.

roughly $1K/wk then just do the rest, for where ever you are much varies state to state, but fed is same everywhere.

Wow, you are spot on

In the NY region, the basic rule of thumb is base*.5/26. You might still have to pay at Tax Time.
