How to calculate your salary as an apprentice?

The salary for an apprentice can be calculated using the following formula:

Net Salary Calculation:

§§ \text{Net Salary} = \left( \text{Hours Worked per Week} \times \text{Hourly Rate} \times 4 \times \text{Training Duration} \right) - \text{Taxes} + \text{Additional Payments} §§

Where:

  • § \text{Net Salary} § — the total earnings after deductions
  • § \text{Hours Worked per Week} § — the number of hours you work each week
  • § \text{Hourly Rate} § — your wage per hour
  • § \text{Training Duration} § — the length of your training in months
  • § \text{Taxes} § — the total tax amount deducted from your earnings
  • § \text{Additional Payments} § — any extra payments you receive

Tax Calculation:

To calculate the total taxes deducted, use the formula:

§§ \text{Taxes} = \left( \text{Hours Worked per Week} \times \text{Hourly Rate} \times 4 \times \text{Training Duration} \right) \times \left( \frac{\text{Tax Rate}}{100} \right) §§

Where:

  • § \text{Tax Rate} § — the percentage of your earnings that goes to taxes

Example:

  1. Input Values:

    • Hours Worked per Week: 40
    • Hourly Rate: $15
    • Training Duration: 12 months
    • Tax Rate: 20%
    • Additional Payments: $1000

  2. Calculations:

    • Total Earnings: §§ \text{Total Earnings} = 40 \times 15 \times 4 \times 12 = 28800 §§
    • Taxes: §§ \text{Taxes} = 28800 \times \left( \frac{20}{100} \right) = 5760 §§
    • Net Salary: §§ \text{Net Salary} = 28800 - 5760 + 1000 = 23040 §§
