Never have I, nor has Jordan, experienced what we did this past Friday.
I mentioned in my last post that we knew the second part of his raise had finally been approved albeit six weeks late. We weren't actually expecting it to be processed so fast - but it was - but the real surprise is how much it was.
I pride myself on being able to run the numbers and figure out within about 10 cents what our net will be when we get a raise - and I was off by quite a bit. When I got to my spreadsheets I realized that Jordan didn't get a raise to $50,000 he got a raise to $51,600.
He's salaried - but for hourly folks that's a difference of $24.04/hour vs $24.81/hour.
Gross Monthly it's a difference of $166/month vs $300/month.
At the end of the day Jordan will take home an extra $33.63/pay or $874.38 over the course of the year.
a Pleasant Surprise
