Mom Salary

I came across Salary.com and they have a Mom Wizard that allows you to see what the typical stay-at-home mom would make. Interestingly, it wouldn't let me put in my Canada postal code so I had to use our old zip code from Ohio. So, if the Ripp Household were to cut me a paycheck, I would make $129,888 a year, woo hoo!!

Below is the earnings statement based on my typical yearly hours:
