How these numbers are calculated

Monthly figures are an annualized weekly equivalent, not a calendar-month paycheck. Production and paid days are estimates. Day-rate and piece-rate entries do not include any additional overtime premium.

⚠ This is not take-home pay. No tax treatment is assumed for per diem. The calculation excludes taxes, withholding, insurance, upfront travel costs, unpaid weeks, and any costs not entered.
