Indeed Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) I received a funding offer. Does anyone know where I can find a blog post or information like PhD Income Taxes Explained For Dummies? As an international student, the information on the school's website seemed confusing and complicated to me. I want to approximately calculate how much income I will have Edited February 11, 2021 by Indeed FingersCrossed2021, Sad Politics, skullkid and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applications are not reviewed until after the December 15th deadline. Admission decisions will be made in late February." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an international student, the information on the school's website seemed confusing and complicated to me. I want to approximately calculate how much income I will have It depends on the state and their income tax rate. You can usually google it and find a tool that helps you calculate disposable income after taxes have been taken. Edit for e.g. if the stipend is $30,000, you might find your disposable income is~ $26,000 if the tax rate is around 12-14%.

At least you can check how your application did on their online system (MyFile). I've been checking the portal constantly ever since I submitted my application (lol), although I know it's most likely too early to hear from them. Looking at past trends, I suppose we will get the decisions late February or early/mid-March. (I hope I understood your question correctly, and wasn't just stating the obvious.) Best of luck!

Mikel Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Now that I finally had the courage to figuratively open my mouth, I wanted to echo what so many others have already said: I really, really appreciate the positive attitude people have expressed here in this thread. Although I know that I won't be hearing about my own applications for a few weeks or so, it has been uplifting to read this thread and see the way you have supported, and continue to support, each other. I sincerely hope your spirit changes academia (which in its contemporary form often promotes individualistic, egoistic, and competitive values) for the better in the future. Good luck everyone! afjackie, kmccorm327, jacksonearlsweatshirt and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. Been thinking about how this side of Gradcafe that no one knows about (in my country, at least) turned out to be my safe space since I don’t feel like I can bother my friends or advisors with the issues that phd application provokes this year, so I am grateful to everyone here, who knows and understands! afjackie, Mikel, polisci_gal and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senochka Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 @ovejalHi, congrats on the UF admit and your other offers. Would you mind telling me when did you submit your app? Nothing new on my portal, so I thought it's either a rejection or they are moving slowly starting with earlier submissions. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just talking to the DGS there, he said that they submitted their decisions to Office of Admissions and the office will release them until the end of next week. I got admitted there as well but most likely will reject the offer. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
