with or without "how much"

Post by grammarguy »

I am going to make up a sentence below.

(ex) The birthday cake costs more than (how much) I make in an hour.

As a non-native English speaker, I think the sentence sounds OK to me with or without "how much". I am not sure if I am right about that. Please give me your opinion. Thanks a lot.
