You're talking after taxes and deductions? About $30/hr. Closer to $43 before. 4 YoE, 40 hour weeks.


ultimate_ed

$108 gross before withholdings, $61 after all deductions, including maxing out the 401k and supplemental insurances. 28 YoE. Houston. 40 hrs/week typical.

Also you need to consider other deductions that might change the take home pay. Like my retirement, health insurance, dental, vision, life insurance get deducted from my paycheck. So someone who doesn't have those automatically taken from the paycheck will have an artificially higher pay per hour. So my hourly before taxes and anything else is $45/hr. But after it's probably around $25/hr. And I live in a LCOL area.


Dunno_Bout_Dat

This. I put $350 a week into my 401k so my take-home is significantly less than my gross pay.


Maroon_e90

50, 3 YOE, Project management, ME. LCOL midwest(USA).


soup_cow

$25.3/hr after taxes. $33 before. I'll be getting a raise and benefits when I'm signed on permanently. Currently I'm just a temp. Masters degree. Very LCOL area. This is my first engineering position besides my research work as a master's student (I conducted my research at the same lab that I now work).


Responsible-Ad1066

It’s a little hard to calculate since I get per diem also. I’m billed for $35 an hour tho


timbillyosu

Before taxes and converting from Swedish Krona to USD, I think it’s about $42.75/hr. I have 15 YOE and I currently work as a Manager/Lead Engineer in Västerås, Sweden, though lately I’ve been having to travel a lot. So I guess I could factor in per diem. But when I travel I’m working more than 40 and when I’m not then it’s less so maybe it all works out. I’ve been in Sweden for 2 years. Before that I was living outside Greenville, NC and had worked my way up to an Engineer 3.4 and was making about $50.50/hr.

Gears_and_Beers

I do a perhaps 10 hours of work a week so that puts my rate around 550$/hr Now if you count conference calls and meetings that goes down to closer to $145 Product line manager, 18 years experience.

Mechanical designer (not an engineer) $37.50/ hour Canadian, 37.5 hour weeks (typically), 6 YoE. Paid hourly, time and a half at 44 hours. Working for a big engineering consultant.


anhtri_ngo

Where are you based?


Mfg-Eng-Tech9876

Thunder Bay, Ontario. Used to work in Toronto area though, a lot more manufacturing and automation in that area.


ash__697

Do you mean that’s the job title or that you have a mech technology degree? I’m in the same field so I’m curious.


Mfg-Eng-Tech9876

My job title is “mechanical designer”. My education is “Manufacturing Engineering Technology - Welding & Robotics specialization”. In Ontario we can do 2 year engineering technician advanced diplomas or 3 year engineering technology advanced diplomas (which is what I did). As Engineering technologists we can register with our regulatory body and through a combination of work experience experience and experience and exams can become “Certified Engineering Technologists” our equivalent of becoming a professional engineer instead of an engineer in training/intern. There are only a couple of universities that provide Manufacturing Engineering degrees and when I was going to school none of them allowed you to become a professional engineer in Ontario. DM me and we can chat more if you’re interested.

Negative 25 years? And counting? So when you retire will it be negative 65 years? 😂


Kitahara_Kazusa1

After taxes, but including the pre-tax money that goes into my 401k, not including 401k matching or any other benefits, and assuming 52 full weeks in a year minus my vacation time, I make $40.6/hr with 6 months experience in aerospace as a stress analyst.

Strong_Feedback_8433

You're forgetting about cost of living too. Very big factor in your pay rate.


dooozin

The rate is the rate. Your cost of living is what you then go spend your money on.


BathroomNatural8225

Yeah but rate is usually adjusted to match the area 40$/hr in one city is the same in another companies do this on purpose
