<prompt> Human: 2 weeks ago I started my new job and my salary went from 37,500 to 52,000. At my previous job, I submit my W-4 form with 2 allowances and I would make about 1150 bi-weekly.At my new job, I did 2 allowances on my W-4 form as well and my first paycheck was 714.69 paid weekly.Its also worth mentioning that in my old job, I had medical and dental taken out about 48 bi-weekly. I didnt have 401k setup though.So if Im doing the math right, my old job I made 575 per week after taxes and medicaldental. And with my new job I only make 139 more a week. When Im able to sign up for medicaldentalvision, along with 401k, Im gonna go back down to making 575 a week again...Doesnt this sound a bit.. I dunno, low? For a 12.5k bump in salary, nothing much is going to change when Ill start to pay for insurance and 401k.Sorry for my complete ignorance in salary and tax matters, this is the first time Ive made this much money.Some info: I file as single, independent, and my new job doesnt take out medicaldentalvision yet. Im also very new to the company, so I have to wait to setup my 401k.  <response>: Besides the tax increase, even a decent raise wont seem like that much since its being spread across 24 paychecks.
