<prompt> Human: I can choose the amount of money I receive in my paycheck each week. Typically I just get paid per commission on a completed job.Do I pay more taxes percentage wise, the higher my check is per week?Should I spread the commissions out over time?I was told that a higher check would result in a higher tax bracket, but I have not seen that in my pay stubs. Is this true?  <response>: No. You just get withheld at a higher rate. When you file taxes at the end of the year it all balances out and you are taxed the same whether you make your money in 4 giant checks of 25k each, or 2k a week. It gets a little wonky because the way tax tables work is that they assume that whatever you made on that check is an equal portion of an annual rate. So work a shit ton of overtime and get a check for 8000 for 2 weeks, its going to assume you make 208k a year and tax you as such for that check and a high rate, even though really maybe you normally only make 75k for the year.
