<prompt> Human: I will be starting my first real job out of college in August, and Im trying to plan my budget ahead of time. However, Im not exactly sure how much of my salary Ill actually be getting each paycheck after taxes and everything, so I was hoping someone could help me ballpark it. My yearly salary is 73,000, Im paid bi-monthly, and Ill be working and living in Virginia. Im single. Let me know if I need to provide any more information. Thanks!Assistant: In a related question, if I am going to contribute 6 to my 401k to get the max employer match, is that 6 of my gross salary or 6 of my net salary after taxes?  <response>: It would be gross.
