To determine Gaia's net pay each month, we'll follow these steps:

1. Identify the gross pay and the deductions:
- Gross pay per month: \$2,895
- Federal Income Tax: \$324
- State Income Tax: \$96
- Social Security: \$126
- Medicare: \$39

2. Calculate the total deductions:
[tex]\[ \text{Total deductions} = \[tex]$324 + \$[/tex]96 + \[tex]$126 + \$[/tex]39
\][/tex]

3. Add the deductions together:
[tex]\[ \text{Total deductions} = 324 + 96 + 126 + 39 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total deductions} = 585 \][/tex]

4. Calculate the net pay by subtracting the total deductions from the gross pay:
[tex]\[ \text{Net pay} = \text{Gross pay} - \text{Total deductions} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Net pay} = \[tex]$2,895 - \$[/tex]585
\][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Net pay} = \$2,310 \][/tex]

Therefore, Gaia's net pay each month is \$2,310.
