You wife may actually be saving you thousands of dollars, not to mention you can also count her as a dependent for taxes.

$508,700 a year, according to a study by Fairfax, Va.-based Edelman Financial Services Inc. The study analyzed salary data supplied by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, trade groups, human resources organizations and staffing services for a number of the tasks a mother does throughout the year. The salary figure is based on 17 occupations that mothers typically perform and each job's median salary, including:

Animal caretaker, $17,000.
Executive chef, $40,000.
General office clerk, $19,000.
Registered nurse, $35,000.
Child-care worker, $13,000.
Psychologist, $29,000.
Bus driver, $32,000.
