My check was for $595 even, and I’m taking home $476.49. Doesn’t that seem a bit excessive? I didn’t pay taxes all last year, they kind of messed up but I owed 1g to the gov’t around tax time :2fingers: Maybe it’s karma… Say you have a $600 paycheck. How much do you actually take home? ---

i lose 35% from my gross to my net… no kids, filed 0 status for taxes, plus extra taken out for both fed and state, (and like $ 35 for med/dental insurance). when company matches 401k next year, there goes a bunch more… usually i get back 1600-1800 every year though. ---

If you have deductions on your check for insurance or 401K, THAT IS NOT TAXES.:biglaugh: You guys are saying you are losing money but you are not “losing” it.:biglaugh: The question was/is how much do you get taxed?(401K is not a tax) ---

I was talking to someone that moved to WNY and they used their CPA from Cali and he told them that they owned a ton of taxes. It ended up that he was figuring taxes for NYC.

Usually during the school year I get taxed even less of a percentage, but for students who work full time during the summer, taxes are higher. I should actually start putting into something like a 401k…any advice? ---

The earlier you start with a 401K, the better the question is, can you afford it. Just remember, if you company matches, that’s like, free money. ---

Find out what the match to and try to get as close to that number as possible and remember…ramen today means ferrari @ 60 😉 Although you do gotta worry about huge economic crash and inflation crushing any money you put away… but this really applies more to older people…bet it sucks to be reitiring in CA right now after saving for 40 years and having 800K…just enough to only have to take out 500K mortgage on your dream house :lol: [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-much-do-you-get-taxed/13641.md?page=2)
