This is the problem. My partner doesn’t want to work OT because he thinks it will cost him more in taxes. I explain why that’s not exactly true, but I can tell he’s not interested. Financial Literacy in the US is abysmal.
Oddly enough it kinda does. OT can make you pay out more taxes on that one check since withholdings are calculated by check. Basically the government/payroll system thinks you're going to be making that every week so more taxes will be taken out.
In reality this only effects the size of your tax bill or return at the end of the year.
That's what people see and exactly why they think they got kicked up a whole tax bracket.
The whole notion of "kicked up a tax bracket" is also a misleading thing. Only a piece of your income goes into the "new bracket", all pay under the new bracket is taxed as they would have been used to.
Exactly, and it also depends on what withholding you have requested.
