Bakit iba ang “$55k after taxes” number mo
- Different filing status (married, dependents)
- Pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA, insurance)
- Bonus/overtime
- W-4 extra withholding
⚠️ Heads Up
Mas malaking paycheck ngayon doesn’t always mean mas mababang tax overall. Sa tax return mo pa rin magse-settle. Kung kulang ang withholding, puwedeng may tax due ka.
Paano ito gamitin (3 steps)
- Match ang pay frequency sa Texas calculator at ilagay ang real deductions mo.
- Compare ang federal withholding + FICA sa isang tunay na pay stub.
- Adjust with intention: dagdag 401(k)/HSA kung gusto mong bawasan tax; adjust W-4 carefully para iwas tax bill.
