<prompt> Human: I have the ability to take some overtime for a co-worker who was just told he was being required to do 60 hr weeks. I can sub in for him I work on a different team, but moved from his, so I can do the job. I just dont know how I feel about OT. Some say to never do it, son say to always do it.I make 40kyr at 19hr. The OT would be 28.5hr would this put me in a tax bracket I dont want to be in Im already married and additional withholding of 82paycheck.The main reason why I am even asking is lets just say, if I were to win the lottery, the first thing I would do is pay off all debt and there is a big chunk of debt.  <response>: Tax brackets are marginal, and youd be paying higher taxes only on the amount you make over the threshold. So, if you have debt, take all the overtime you can stand, and dont worry about taxes. Even if you go to 25 bracket, that would still leave your wage for all OT hours at over 20 after taxes.
