Annual Earnings...

 Jane was hired at a new job making $22 an hour.  If she works the standard 2000-hour work year, how much will she earn in gross annual income for hours worked?   Jane also receives 10 vacation days at a pay rate of $160 a day.   As a bonus, Jane's boss has decided to reward all employees with a 10% holiday gift based off of each employee's annual gross earnings.   What would be Jane's bonus and total Annual Gross Income?

As a 2nd consideration, where would this be enough income to live?  Consider the Cost of Living to determine the answer.
