Got a great new job! YES! Now I'm in the 25% income tax bracket! DAMN IT!
    #14337910 - 04/23/11 11:24 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

This sucks.  For the first time in my life I'm earning enough money to support myself.  But I just came to find out that the federal government is now taking 25% of my pay.  I don't feel like doing that math, but I'm probably bringing home the same amount of post-tax income as someone who makes a lot less money than me and is in the 15% tax bracket..  WTF.

On top of that, my state is taking another 5% of my money.  After both income taxes and other taxes, I only get to keep 2/3 of my money.  wow.  this is insanity.  I never really thought about this before because I was always only losing 15% to the federal income tax.  Now that its 25%, I'm pissed.  I'm planning on marrying my girlfriend as soon as we get a place and live together for a while.  That way I'll be back in a 15% bracket. 

Taxes are a bitch.  Fuckin shit. I'm earning $750 a week, and I'm only taking home $525 or so.  Thats less than I took home when I was earning $33,000/year.  Now I'm earning $39,000/year and bringing home about $100 less every week. what the fucking fuck?!  Where the hell is that $225 a week going?

qft

wait until you start making $115,000 per year and get stuck in the 33 bracket. after sales, state, local, property, you'll be lucky to walk away with 60k.

America = fuck over the middle class.

seriously.  Now I see what all the bitching and moaning is about from the middle class.  We're keeping less of our hard-earned money than anyone!

I just can't get over the fact that I was bringing home more money making $33,000/year than I am at $39,000/year.  that just blows my mind.

There's a few spots in the brackets where this happens, and it always sucks.
A creative accountant might be able to help you prepare for next year better.

I thought it went in steps?

Like this (For example your income was 100000):

($ 8,025  minus  0 )   x .10 : $  802.50
(32,550  minus  8,025 ) x .15 :    3,678.75
(65,725  minus  32,550 ) x .25 :    8,293.75
(100,000  minus  65,725 )x .28 :    9,597.00
    Total:   $ 22,372.00

This puts you in the 28% tax bracket, since that's the highest rate applied to any of your income; but as a percentage of the whole $100,000, your tax is about 22.37%.

I haven't had a real job in a few years but I remember something like this so it's impossible to take home more for earning less.

2/3rds of your paycheck huh?

Yearly that means you don't start working for yourself until May or so.

Withdrawl your cooperation from the slave plantation.

Time to hire an accountant.
