If you were allowed to work because of child labor law's maybe $7.25 per hour and only 4 hour per day because of school!

Most jobs like these start at minimum wage for your state, minus taxes.
Some employers consider your first few months a "probation period", and will not pay you a full wage (which may even mean below minimum), on the assumption that training you is an expense and that your performance is not yet to standard.
If you have some existing skill that appeals to an employer (computer knowledge, leadership training, etc.), you might be able to negotiate a higher starting wage, or apply for a job that pays more.
Keep in mind that many employers might not hire anyone below 18, and those that do may require some sort of "minor work permit" you have to apply for.

If the minimum wage for your state is $7.25 like the federal minimum wage, then that is what you will get paid per hour. Remember not to count on the $232 calculation you came up with in full. You must account for any taxes deducted from the check.

You'd make:
Minimum wage + 25 hours of work per week (maximum) = ?
I don't know what state you reside in, so visit the link below will show you your states minimum wage. Minimum wage varies state to state.
the maximum number an hours any minor can work per week is 25/hours per week. Though most fast food restaurants will only work minors 16-20 hours a week.

Whatever the minimum wage for that state. Then if you do really good, I am sure you will get a raise.
