I got a raise at work!!! I will now be making $.86 cents more per hour and if I did the math correctly that comes out to an extra $100/week $400/month. Although I am sure that the lovely Uncle Sam will suck up most of that, I am still excited!!!!

How many hours a week do you work? If you work 40 hours a week, that's a raise of $34 a week, not $100.

I always used the simple calculation of "For every .50 cent raise, I'd see an extra $20 bucks in my paycheck. It's probably not accurate, but that's what I noticed when I used to get raises.

Your math was way off unless you work more than 116 hours a week! $.86 x 40 = $34.40. Don't get me wrong -- it's great that you got a raise, and I'm really happy for you.
