If the net is getting smaller, somebody fucked up.

eww that mud!

gross goes up, tax goes way up, net doesnt go up so much.

wierd...I thought this guy was the amazing racist...

once u get into a higher tax bracket u start earning less take home pay. CP just did a contract renewal back in March or so, and Mike ended up getting back pay as well as got a raise. Now with the raise sure he makes more gross but ends up taking home less pay than he did before.

it's shitty how that works :(

When you hit a new tax bracket, you don't jump right into it with all your income. The first $8000 or whatever isn't taxed at all, the next bit is taxed at the first bracket, then a bunch at the next and so on. If you're in the 40% bracket, they dont' take 40% of all your pay. Its 0% of some, 10% of some, 20% of some and so on...or whatever the percentages are. I get paid in cash, so I don't know the numbers. But if you get a raise or work more hours, you should never make less money. And if you do, you should be seeing a nice check at tax return time.

we arent talking about income tax return time... strictly pay cheque time.

i make (gross) a fair bit less than one of my buddies, but he takes home only a few bucks more than i do (net). but he also gets 3 times as much as me at income tax time too.

oh...that you can set up....I can walk into my employer to take anywehre from 0 to 100% of my paycheque as taxes....

we arent talking about that or what i posted above...

we are talking about tax brackets.

omg, let me put this straight, taxes suck....

my fuckin' back hurts.. too much workey.
