On: Germany’s great tuition fees U-turn

Is this before or after tax? 38 weeks seems short to me.

Well, 38 weeks * 40 hours * 7.25 per hour = $11,020. Your total tax bill at a yearly income of $11,020 is very close to $0 (and with educational credits I suspect you would get back slightly more than you pay).

Before. I ignored tax, mostly because at the minimum wage you don't pay much.
