Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about IB Summer Analyst (SA) compensation at Wells Fargo:

  1. Pre-Tax Compensation:

    • Most IB SAs at major banks, including Wells Fargo, typically earn around $40-$50/hour. Assuming a 10-week internship with 80-100 hours per week, the gross pay can range from $16,000 to $25,000 for the summer.
  2. Post-Tax Take-Home:

    • Taxes will vary depending on your location (state and city taxes) and your tax bracket. A rough estimate is that 25-35% of your gross pay will go to taxes. This means your take-home pay could range from $10,400 to $18,750 after taxes.
  3. Overtime Pay (1.5x):

    • Yes, overtime pay is typically applied for hours worked beyond 40 hours per week. This is a significant boost for SAs, as most work well over 40 hours weekly. For example, if you're earning $40/hour, overtime pay would be $60/hour for hours beyond 40.
  4. Other Considerations:

    • Some banks may also provide housing stipends or cover certain expenses, which can further impact your overall take-home.

If you're looking for more specific numbers or experiences, you might want to check out threads on WSO where past SAs share their detailed breakdowns.

Interned at an EB - took home about 17k after withholdings. Expecting a tax refund soon 🙏🏼

 

Interned at mid level bulge bracket in NYC with 1.5x overtime, made ~40k gross and ~40% of it was withheld since they tax you at the highest bracket.

Post tax expect each check to be from 5 to 7k

If you’re at wells Charlotte your tax rate and cost of living are way lower so you can make closer to 50k over the summer from what my friends have told me.

 

can you explain why they tax so high. Is it not just taxed under normal brackets? 

 

Not really a tax expert lol but I think it’s just because you technically are earning like someone at that bracket for how much you’re making on an hourly basis, like if you continued to be paid at that rate the whole year you’d be making over 200k a year since it’s hourly.

Once you do your taxes you get a nice refund, so basically you gave the IRS a nice interest free loan.

Again not a tax expert at all
