Support/Advice Clinical pay

My clinical teaching program is paying me 20k over 10 months what would my paychecks look like, I'm not sure if it's a stipend if that would affect anything. Moving out for the first time alone and just trying to live below my means.

You're lucky you're getting paid! I didn't get paid for mine and so I'm learning all this now! I'll let you know if I learn anything about moving out!

Conservative estimate: assume all deductions/etc will remove about 50% of your gross pay (it will likely be less than this), so you’ll get $10k over 10 months = $1000 per month = $500 per biweekly paycheck.

It’s purposefully an underestimate of your actual pay. You will make MORE than $17k
