<prompt> Human: Ill be more specific. New job, much more money. I get normal overtime rates, 1.5x after 80, and 2X after 120 bi monthly pay. I also get guaranteed 1.5x every Saturday and 2X on Sunday. If I work no overtime I gross around 2,100, and with overtimeshutdowns I can gross as high as 5,000. It looks like Im taxed 22-23.7 depending on how much I make that week. Can I expect any sort of return?  <response>: Most guys I work with say not to work too much overtime because it will get eaten up by taxes. Are they right?most guys you work with are fucking idiots.If you work enough overtime and it bumps you up to a higher tax bracket for a year, only the amount in that next bracket gets taxed a higher amount. Not sure how your employer withholds money for taxes and such, but if they withhold extra you can expect that back when you file.
