<prompt> Human: Hey everyone, Just looking for some advise here. I recently worked 29 hours of overtime in a two week period. After getting my check today, I have over 900.00 in deductions. Now 150.00 dollars worth is from PensionHealthCare but the rest is FedSSMedicare NJ state and NJ SUI Tax.Couple quick things, I make about 48,000 before taxes and claim 0. Now to my point, When does working so much overtime hurt you and become not worth it? I have paychecks with 4-6 hours of overtime and I am making about 400.00 less then when I work 29-35 hours overtime. So 25 Hours my OT rate32.77 is over 844.25 dollars but not even half shows up in my check...Anyone have input, Help?  <response>: You will ALWAYS earn more with overtime than without it. It is NEVER worth it to not work it.The biggest difference is in your withholdings. Your overtime might have more withholdings than normal, but your tax burden wont change. Anything over withheld you will get back when you file your taxes.
