<prompt> Human: They are saying that their taxes are changing week to week and that it isnt worth it to work more hours beyond a certain point because the increased taxes eat it all. Assistant: It looks like your topic and body text are in agreement. What are you trying to say?Human: Is the tax bracket really changing week to week based on hours worked? Assistant: No. Your tax bracket is based on your total income and deductions for the entire calendar year. Payroll computer attempts to estimate your annual income, but its not always correct.Human: Ok. So say I work 40 hours one week and bring home 1,000. The next week I work 80 hours assume no overtime for this example. I wont bring home 2,000 because the computer is now calculating me as being in a higher tax bracket for the whole year based on that one week of work so Ill bring home something like 1600 instead of the logical double 40 hours at 1000 2 of 2,000?  <response>: Yea, and you brought home 1,600 instead of 1,000. You earned more and thus brought home more money after taxes.The fallacy is thinking that the increased tax you paid on the extra money would somehow retroactively apply to the 1,000 you earned the previous week. Or that you could earn 2,000 and somehow taxes would be more than 2,000.
