Answer 1

The federal minimum wage is $5.85/ hour (it'll go up to $6.55/hour on July 24th).  The minimum wage in your state may be higher.

If you work 40 hrs per week and have 15% deducted for social security, Medicaid, and federal and state income taxes, that's about $200 per week or roughly $850 per month.

If you save all of this, you can make $2000 in around 2 1/2 months.

Answer 2

It depends upon what the minimum wage is where you live and how many hours you would work a week.  If you know those numbers, you just have to do the math to figure the gross income for the month.

Answer 3

If you work Full Time and we are taking about take home pay, AFTER taxes, and you don't claim anyone and take out max taxes you would have to make $15.75 an hour if you using Arizona tax system (if you are in another state it might be higher or lower) about $1,004.61 (every 2 weeks after taxes). Either way if you make federal minimum wage, $5.85/hr, using the same arizona tax system is about $391.99 every 2 weeks which is about $784 a month, a bit far off.

use this calculator: http://www.paycheckcity.com/NetPayHRates...

put in what state, how much you'll make hourly, and your frequency of pay (weekly, Biweekly Monthly)

Example: $15.75/hr 80hrs Biweekly

            or $15.75/hr 40hrs Weekly

If you want to make $2000 before taxes you would have to make $12.50 with a take home pay of about $1600
