Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money?
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 11 hours agoTo be more specific the first 100,000 isn’t taxed at 28%. The 44 to 100k range would be, but below that will be taxed at lower percentages. The first ~10k you make is taxed at 10%, and then it increases throughout.
The first ~10k you make is taxed at 10%
In the USA, technically the first $15,000 (if single) or $30,000 (if married and filing jointly) is taxed at 0% due to the standard deduction. If you earn less than that, you can tell your employer that you don’t want any tax to be withheld.

If getting specific, there’s no 28 percent or 33 percent bracket, so these are all examples rather than real figures. I did make a comment using real numbers, same general magnitude but just more specific about the brackets.
