I have checked my bank balance like 800 times today because tomorrow is my first paycheck in my new position. I have done estimates on what I think I will take home, but I am DYING to see if is is closer to the low-end or high-end of that. Usually it gets deposited sometime after working hours on the day before pay day. Where is it?
For me, it usually happens around midnight on pay day. And depends where your company headquarters are. So, I work in NY and my company's headquarters are in Chicago, I don't usually get paid until around 1 am EST.
my company and i use the same bank- so i end up getting the check the day before i get paid. but- when i was waiting on my first pay- i figured that a 1/3 of it would go to taxes and i was right on. so you can pretty much figure it that way.
My money is always in there when I wake up on payday. I just never really knew what time it actually goes in there. I swear I have sometimes seen it in there at around 5pm the day before and sometimes later than that.
I ended up going to bed at 12am and it wasn't there yet. It was there when I woke up at 7:30. The raise turned out to be about midway between my best-case and worst-case scenarios.
