Just curious as to what's the most you have made in a year as a EMT-B, EMT-I, or EMT-P. I know that cost of living in areas can effect your wage. Just curious as to what you guys make. Also, how much overtime you work?

I am moving. I make around 24k as an EMT-B.

And that is aiming for 624 hours of OT a year.

Our basics make 48k and that's before overtime, you could probably add about 10 - 15% for overtime.

Anyone looking for work? I have openings.

:)
 
How do I go about immigrating to canada lol
 
PCP ~ $71000 /yr. Counting minimal end of shift OT and maybe 120 hrs in extra shifts.
 
Actual monetary amounts aren't nearly as important as how you manage what you have. In 6 months, maybe less, I'll be bill free; with only working enough OT to maintain employment at part-time job and to shut the betters up. I love my days off.
 
$00.00. Haha :P
 
For my friends up north, is that in us currency?

45k as a base, is our starting point without ot. But that s with paying zilch for myself and my family for insurance, and a sweet state retirement plan. Plus 60 CEUs payed for(even if its at a conference) per year. Last year with ot I think I ended at 53.

That's local currency, but at the current exchange rates it's pretty much the same.

We've also got a Health, Dental, Vision, Short term illness, Long term illness, Critical Illness, and Retirement plan equaling about 8% of the wage.

Yeah but the average house cost 1 mil and gas was over 4 bucks a gallon this summer so it only looks good lacking context.

What the heck are you talking about one million for house, I bought my house last year for 337K, and Iam in a nice suburb, just 9 miles north of Disneyland, yeah the gas thing suck you got me htere.^_^
 
As of pay period 19 (out of 26), I'm over 97k, with maybe 72 hours of OT a month, sometimes more. My base is in the low 80's.
 
Real estate must have free fallen out there more than I realized...
 
What sort of shifts? Our medics do 7 days on 7 off, 24 hour on call. Average seat time in the ambulance might be about 30 hours per shift.

Not to mention, we don't know the area he lives in, the sq footage, the amenities, the school district, taxes, etc etc.

His $337k house might be equal to a $90k house in DFW.




As for how much I make: Considering I've only been a Paramedic for 19 months, Mint.com says my income has been $33k from last September to this September, after taxes, so you can assume about $42,000 before taxes.

Odd... doesn't seem like it.

My best year, I made 70k, with tons of OT, probably 12-24 hours a pay period, and a 48 hour base week.

Hubby's best year so far has been 96k. Moderate OT, probably 36 hours a month.

The commute is worth it, that money goes a lot further out of the NOVA area.
