Change

monthlySalary = hourPay * 0.1

to

monthlySalary = float(hourPay) * 0.1

The reason is that input or raw input are taking in strings that you must first convert to their proper type.

    Please do not answer obvious duplicate questions, and if you feel the need to do so, at least provide an answer that explains the issue, not just proposes a fix that leaves OP no wiser than before. – l4mpi May 08 '14 at 10:44
