Understanding Your Paycheck

You have a job? Or are you pursuing one? Then you definitely need to know how to read the information on your paycheck.

Being able to understand a paycheck is a skill anyone with a job needs to have.



In this section, you will read and learn about the various parts of your pay stub. 

To know you are successful at reading and understanding a pay stub, you should be able to:

• Talk about how each section on the pay stub effects how much money you make

Step 1) check out credit.com to read about the different sections of a pay stub

Step 2) Open this worksheet, print it, neatly hole punch it, then fill it out (don't do #5).

Step 3) Put the worksheet in your binder as evidence that you are working to meet your AA3 goals.
