Earning $175,000 instead would add about $16,320 a year to your take-home pay. You'd keep about 65 cents of each extra dollar after federal, state and payroll taxes. Your top income tax rate at $150,000 is 27.1% combined.
If you saved 5% in a 401(k)
Putting $7,500 a year into a traditional 401(k) would lower your take-home pay by only $5,700, because the contribution comes out before federal income tax (Pennsylvania still taxes it). That's about $219 less per biweekly paycheck.
