Not even remotely close to 600k lol. Looking at my situation, the federal tax rate is probably like 26%.

That’s without oasdi, Medicare, state taxes, city taxes, and insurance.

44% though was high, you’re right about that, because some of that tax was paid up front off of bonuses and will reduce over the course of the year.

I’ll probably end up around 35% without counting retirement and of course without counting all the other nickle and diming taxes that are paid post tax
