H1B employee is a cow for H1B employer that produces lots of money instead of milk !Most of H1B employee\u2019s hourly pay is approximately $50+ per hour.
\nFor specialized skill set such as Oracle Finance, ERP, TeraData, Business Objects it goes as high as $125+ per hour.<\/p>\n
You need to know how your employer earns the money and their modus operand. So don’t start dreaming that if you have been offered $60K per annum means you will get $5K or around Rs. 2.2 Lakh per month in your pocket.<\/p>\n
Salary Calculation using $60000 Gross Annual Salary<\/strong> Your H1B sponsoring company has agreed to pay you $60,000 per year with 10 paid vacation days + health insurance benefits.<\/p>\n Your Gross Annual Salary being $60,000 per year means $5000 per month. This is the salary without any tax, no matter in which state you are, your paycheck will always show the following entries.<\/p>\n Above picture shows how your Employer fills when you are working for them.<\/strong><\/p>\n After tax your take home pay would be around $3600 to $4000 per month (assuming your earning is $5000.00 gross per month).<\/p>\n If a J2EE programmer works for the direct client for a year at $70 per hour, his H1B Company would have billed total $131,600 to the direct client in 12 months.<\/p>\n The total of $131,600 is simply derived by multiplying hourly rate ($70) with total annualized hour (1880).<\/p>\n With $60,000 per year salary as an employee, your employer enjoys the benefits using following formula.<\/p>\n Gross profit to your H1B employer (A- B) =$131,600 \u2013 $74,320 = $57,280 gross profit!! <\/strong><\/p>\n And sometime, when rate offered by client is poor or there are too many middleman involved. It may significantly reduce your employer\u2019s gross profit. And remember not a single employer in the USA will hire you and continue to suffer the financial loss.<\/p>\n Analyze the following table , it would help you to analyze what your employer\u2019s gross income is just because you are working for them and providing your valuable IT professional services to them.<\/p>\n This is what you need to practice before asking for Salary Raise while you are on H1B visa !<\/strong><\/p>\n Now, if you ask your US-based employer for a salary raise, you will be denied out right or threaten to cancel your H1B visa and other scary tactics. In most of the cases, these companies would love to keep you on their payroll. Because you are earning money for them, more you work, more the money you will make for the company. And more your hourly rate , the better the bank balance of your employer would be.<\/p>\n Now you should be able to understand that you are a CA$H COW for your USA based employer. In the above mentioned example on the annual investment of $74,320 your employers is getting back $59,780 back and guess what that $74,320 also came from ? Obviously, from your work! Don\u2019t you think even if your employer is just making $20,000 in gross profit overall then also you deserve a fair treatment from your employer?<\/p>\n Taking action against a greedy employer is not your trait; also, your employer who made a lot of money through your work will go an extra mileage to scare you. Don\u2019t forget that certain portion of that huge profit of your employer may have been specially allocated toward legal expense to keep you under their toes, and some employer are not easy to deal with and they will spend money behind legal cost to scare you by providing a notice and many other scary tactics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" H1B employee is a cow for H1B employer that produces lots of money instead of milk !\nMost of H1B employee\u2019s hourly pay is approximately $50+ per hour.\n For specialized skill set such as Oracle Finance, ERP, TeraData, Business Objects it goes as high as $125+ per hour.\nYou need to know how your employer earns the money and their modus operand.
