<prompt> Human: How is it possible that my take home difference is less than my tax difference? nbsp;nbsp;Taxes bi-weekly:nbsp;1269 after raise per check taxes.nbsp;1127 before raise per check taxes.nbsp;nbsp;142 difference per check.nbsp;nbsp;Take home bi-weekly:nbsp;2391 after raise net per check.nbsp;2286 before raise net per check.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;105 difference per check.nbsp;nbsp;My raise was for 6500.nbsp;nbsp;Since Im single, not a parent, and dont own a home I currently pay around 31 in taxes. Im fine with that, but its a little disheartening to see that I earned a raise and am giving more of that raise to the government than I am to myself.nbsp;nbsp;Did I got into a new tax bracket or something? Eeeek.  <response>: Amount withheld amount owed.
