Why monthly math trips people up
Multiplying $5,100 by 2 gives $10,200, but your yearly pay divided by 12 is $11,050. The difference, $850 a month on average, arrives as two "extra" paychecks each year. Budget your bills on $10,200 a month and those two months become a $10,200 bonus for savings or debt.
