After-tax figures use federal tax and FICA only. Part-time earners often pay a lower effective rate: at 20 hours a week the federal income tax is $1,814 (5.4% of pay) versus $5,813 (8.7%) full-time, because the $16,100 standard deduction covers a bigger share of income.
Unpaid time off. The 2,080-hour figure assumes you are paid for every week, including holidays and vacation. If you take two unpaid weeks a year, $64,000 is a more realistic annual figure; with ten unpaid holidays as well, about $61,440.
