Employment Information

If you have a different pay period than the choices given below, or your pay varies (for instance if you have more than one job and different pay periods), estimate your total average pay as closely as possible and convert it to a monthly pay amount. Enter it here as monthly.

If you receive a regular paycheck from an employer, then choose your pay rate and pay period below, and the income table will calculate monthly totals for you, based on your pay stub deductions. However, if you have multiple jobs with different pay periods, are self-employed, retired, etc, choose “monthly” here so that no further calculations will be done on your entries in the income table.
