Those days are loooong gone.
They still exist. First out is usually done around 11-12pm at my place.
I’m modified first out tomorrow 11am-2pm. I could have worked 645am-12pm but 11am-2pm a better deal.
2nd/3rd out can vary. 2nd out left 1230 today. 3rd out left 130pm.
4/5th out are full 8 hour days usually.
he prob means 21% of the total compensation which included healthcare and retirement etc. its prob more than 21% if just pure salary
35% tax bracket doesn’t kick in till 440k ish for married couples.
32% tax bracket doesn’t kick I fill 340k for married.
So the vast majority of my federal taxes is at 24% of lower.
It’s not total compensation.
It’s simple math using federal tax formula.
Add to that can have pretax 401a (10k ish)
Pretax 403b (or Roth post tax) $22500-30000
Pretax 457b ($22500-30000)
Hsa family pretax
Standard deduction for married is 25k or itemized more
Child care tax credit $4000 (2 kids)
Mine u. This is effective tax rate 21%
40% of usa people pay 0% effective tax rate.
It’s also a reason not to be w2 at amc working 55 hours a week or more for 550k these days. U don’t have access to 50-70k pretax retirement accounts like state plans too much is exposed to higher tax rates. I’d rather work 40 hours. Or less.
Now if amc were paying 700k for 55 hours a week. I Probabiy would think about it.
