<prompt> Human: So I have the opportunity to move to a new company where I could make 40 more. Today the question came up about taxes... I recently got married and am trying to figure out what this will do to is on our 2016 taxes. I currently make 60ishkyr plus bonus and will be making 85kyr plus bonus. My husband claims about 20kyr. I have a friend who said her husband got a big raise and it was almost better for her to not work than pay taxes on her income since his went up so much. Anyone have any idea on what this opportunity would do to us tax wise?  <response>: Your friend doesnt understand how taxes work. You will never make less by working more. If you move into a new tax bracket, only the amount of money in that bracket will be taxed at that rate.
