Where $25 sits
Against the federal minimum wage of $7.25, $25 is 3.4×. Full-time it equals 104% of a $50,000 salary — above that common benchmark. State minimums, cost of living, and benefits decide whether it's comfortable; the arithmetic above is the objective part.
Take-home is a separate question — taxes take roughly 15–25% at this level, varying by state and filing status. Start from $1,000 a week in the paycheck calculator.
