<prompt> Human: I start my new job on the 26th and Ive already moved into my new apartment. I am curious to know if its bad practice to ask about how much Ill be getting from my first paycheck, after taxes. Ive been through tax calculators online like smartasset.com and while I have a ballpark, I want to get a better idea for budgeting purposes.Is this a reasonable thing to do?  <response>: If youve got a ballpark figure, just use that for a few weeks and then go back and revise once you have your paycheck. Asking seems...odd.
