<prompt> Human: Right now I work full time as a Bartender in Colorado where the tipped minimum wage is 7.18 an hour plus tips. I want to work a couple shifts in the kitchen to earn a little extra spending money since its hard to work a double with how many front of house workers there are. My wage in the kitchen would be 16hr for probably 12 hrs a week.Im asking because Ive often been told if you work a tipped position and an hourly position in the same restaurant, you wont see the money from the hourly position because it gets eaten up by your taxes. How does that work though?  <response>: What you want to do is completely reasonable. If you move into a higher tax bracket, then you are still making more money than before. Moving to a higher tax bracket will never result in you making less take-home pay.
