What percentage of your paycheck do you take home? (1 Viewer)

[fantasycurse42]

After taxes, 401k, medical, FSA, and any other deductions you have?

 

[Jayrod]

I bring home 76% of my current paycheck. We don't have a retirement plan and my employer pays for 65% of my health insurance. That 35% plus my tax bracket aren't enough to take away much.

However, I have had to pay in a thousand or so each of the last two years at tax time, so maybe it is time to adjust my withholding.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

~41%.

Taxes are almost a third of my take home.

Health, dental, vision, accident and other small insruances are ~6%

Between Stock plan, 401k, roth, and 2 other long term savings account, that's ~22%

 

[eoMMan]

This will vary greatly because:

1. State taxes

2. 401k plans (not everyone has them)

3. Health Insurance (maybe spouse pays through their work)

Etc.

Etc.

 

[Ignoramus]

Yeah, kind of a meaningless question.

Is someone who takes home 90% of his paycheck better off than someone who takes home 50%?

 

[fantasycurse42]

Yeah, kind of a meaningless question.

Is someone who takes home 90% of his paycheck better off than someone who takes home 50%?

I don't know about better, but I'd be happier with former over the ladder

 

[dgreen]

63.8%

 

[Emerson Biggens]

36%

Taxes including state, fsa, health and LTD insurance, and a fiscal raping of child support.

HFS, sorry man

I don't know about better, but I'd be happier with former over the ladder

What if the ladder makes 4X as much and is maxing out his investments?

 

[Emerson Biggens]

36%

HFS, sorry man

It was funny (not haha) to see the topic because I had just done the calculations because my taxes changed on today's paycheck.

My ex gets 29.27 % of my gross and I get 36%. That sucks.

 

[Quez]

64%

Health insurance for family, & small amount taken out for 401k.

[El Floppo]

I work as a freelance/consultant.

I take home 100% of my paycheck.

and then 110% of it goes out the window.

I don't really fault him. He probably worked himself up from the bottom rung of the company.

I'd say he could be facing a steep climb.

Can you spare some of that 36% to get a new lawyer?

well I'm married and my wife gets a higher percentage of my gross than that

 

[Niles Standish]

Don't know exact but I'd think below 25%.

That's because I put the max allowed into company stock.

I also put into 401K, HSA, Insurance etc... etc... etc...

He'll be OK. As long as he takes it one step at a time.

 

[Fennis]

51.7% I like the question better towards the end of the year.

My last paycheck of the year was 67.6%. Its awesome.

 

[Fennis]

I work as a freelance/consultant.

I take home 100% of my paycheck.

might want to lock those windows

 

[skol asylum]

0%

I don't take it home. Direct deposit means i take it to the bank bromigos.

 

[Pipes]

1. State taxes

2. 401k plans (not everyone has them)

3. Health Insurance (maybe spouse pays through their work)

Etc.

Etc.

Agreed there will be a 10% difference on the exact same wages of someone living in NY vs someone living in FL or NV for example.

 

[Pipes]

53% with 15% going to 401k and the rest to taxes. My wife has all the benefits on her check.

 

[Gawain]

53% (401K/FSA/Taxes) benefits are on the wife's check. She was doing better as I discovered when I realized we owed NY state and the feds about 1K a piece this year because she's claiming 2 in a DINK household.

 

[rodg12]

63%

401K, Medical, Dental, FSA, Taxes make up the 37% I don't take home.

 

[RUSF18]

61.6% after all the taxes etc plus 8% for 401k and another $50ish a check for commuter benefits. No health/dental/vision benefits taken out (wife has a much better and much much cheaper plan).

 

[matttyl]

Technically 100%. I'm self employed, paid by commissions with no deductions. I then make quarterly tax payments, and pay my various insurances personally. Wife has the 401(k), not me.

 

[Statcruncher]

36%

Taxes including state, fsa, health and LTD insurance, and a fiscal raping of child support.

HFS, sorry man

My ex gets 29.27 % of my gross and I get 36%. That sucks.

I live in a state with no income tax and I bring home 47.5% of my gross, taxes, matching 401k, insurance for the kids, and divorce get the rest. And I'll be writing a check to the IRS for thousands this year, so it actually winds up at 42.2%. This is my reward for working 60+ hours a week, my ex works ZERO hours a week and gets 39.8% of my gross. F the divorce system.

This is technically not 100%.

What do you mean? I take 100% of my paycheck home. I then spend it from there, but it all comes home.

The system really is such nonsense... Who the #### put it in place?

"After taxes, 401k, medical, FSA, and any other deductions you have".

You still pay for these types of expenses. It's simply distributed differently.
