How It Works
Evaluates the financial impact of a salary increase or hourly wage raise, comparing old vs. new gross earnings, marginal tax absorption, and net take-home cash flow per pay period.
Calculation Example
A 6% raise on a $70,000 salary increases gross pay by $4,200 annually ($161.54 biweekly). After roughly 22% federal tax and 7.65% FICA, take-home pay increases by approximately $113.65 per paycheck.
Frequently Asked Questions
No! This is one of the most common tax myths. The US uses progressive marginal brackets: entering a higher bracket only taxes the dollars above that threshold at the higher rate.
