    Yes, but probably no one anywhere gets that full amount deposited in their bank account. My paystub has about 10 pre-tax deductions of cents to dozens of dollars, a couple post-tax amounts, then 4 deductions for taxes (it could be more if the city charged tax also). By the end of all that I 'get' about 55% of my rate. So given that the rate is divided by 24 to start with, and umpteen deductions and taxes which can vary at times, anyone who could find a penny in that mess needs their head examined. Then at Income Tax time you can easily owe or be owed $2000. Then that much property taxes... Commented Jul 4 at 23:50
