Well for a start, get rid of the semicolons at the end of your method declarations.

You should debug and see what are the issue.

As Wes says, most of the problems are due to a little over-enthusiastic use of semicolons!
The semicolon in C# is a statement terminator, so placing it before an open curly bracket is never going to give you what you expect! :laugh:

In addition, you have some odd brackets relating to your CalcNet method:

C#

static void CalcNet();
{
    if (hours > 40) //factors in overtime pay
    {
    gross = Math.Round((hours - 40) * rate * 1.5 + rate * 40,2);
    }
    else
    {
    gross = Math.Round(hours*rate,2);
    }
}
{
    depCost = Math.Round(numOfDep*25.50,2);
    tax = Math.Round((gross-depCost)*.23,2);
    net = Math.Round(gross-depCost-tax);
}

It's possible that you meant the second section to be a separate method altogether:

C#

static void CalcNet();
{
    if (hours > 40) //factors in overtime pay
    {
    gross = Math.Round((hours - 40) * rate * 1.5 + rate * 40,2);
    }
    else
    {
    gross = Math.Round(hours*rate,2);
    }
}
static void AnotherMethodAlltogether()
{
    depCost = Math.Round(numOfDep*25.50,2);
    tax = Math.Round((gross-depCost)*.23,2);
    net = Math.Round(gross-depCost-tax);
}

Or you just made a mistake and it should be:

C#

public static void CalcNet()
{
    if (hours > 40) //factors in overtime pay
    {
        gross = Math.Round((hours - 40) * rate * 1.5 + rate * 40,2);
    }
    else
    {
        gross = Math.Round(hours*rate,2);
    }
    depCost = Math.Round(numOfDep*25.50,2);
    tax = Math.Round((gross-depCost)*.23,2);
    net = Math.Round(gross-depCost-tax);
}

I'll assume that latter! :laugh:
Try this:

C#

namespace Program_6
{
    public class Program
    {
        private static double rate, hours, tax, gross, depCost, net;
        private static int numOfDep;

        static void Main()
        {
            GetData();
            CalcNet();
            DspData();
        }
        public static void GetData()
        {
            Console.Write("Hours worked: ");
            hours=double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            Console.Write("Hourly rate: ");
            rate=double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            Console.Write("Dependents: ");
            numOfDep=Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
         }
        public static void CalcNet()
        {
            if (hours > 40) //factors in overtime pay
            {
                gross = Math.Round((hours - 40) * rate * 1.5 + rate * 40,2);
            }
            else
            {
                gross = Math.Round(hours*rate,2);
            }
            depCost = Math.Round(numOfDep*25.50,2);
            tax = Math.Round((gross-depCost)*.23,2);
            net = Math.Round(gross-depCost-tax);
        }
        public static void DspData()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hours Worked:\t\t{0,10}", hours);
            Console.WriteLine("Hourly Rate:\t\t{0,10}", rate);
            Console.WriteLine("Dependants:\t\t{0,10}", numOfDep);
            Console.WriteLine("Gross Pay:\t\t{0,10}", gross);
            Console.WriteLine("Deductions:\t\t{0,10}", tax);
            Console.WriteLine("\t\t\t-----------");
            Console.WriteLine("Net pay:\t\t{0,10}", net);
        }
    }
}

I can't say it will work, but it should at least compile!
