There are too many variables: Federal income tax, State income tax; Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes; employee benefits, etc.

But all this can eat up as much as 30% or more of your paycheck.

For example, if it all adds up to 30%, you would have to gross over $57,000 to take home $40,000.

The way to take home $40,000 is to do well , impress your boss, and get a big raise.
