Five dollars an hour is $10,400 a year before taxes at full time: $52,000 against $41,600. After federal taxes, filing single, the gap shrinks to about $8,356, because the extra dollars are taxed at your highest rate.
Over a month, that is roughly $696 more in your pocket. If you are weighing two job offers, compare them after taxes and benefits, not just by the hourly wage.
