<prompt> Human: PF, so.. I feel a little ashamed almost to ask. I have a tax related question. Im about to get a small pay bump thats going to put me over 14hour. A coworker says that it is going to result in me netting less with the raise, after taxes, then I was betting prior to the raise. Now, Im fairly certain thats not true. Im in Indiana. Truthfully I dont believe its even going to put me into a higher tax bracket. But even if it did my understanding is that only the small amount of money that is in that next bracket would be taxed at the higher rate, as opposed to the entire paycheck being taxed at the higher amount. But my coworker swears Ill be taking home less money now. Is there something I am not aware of?  <response>: Youre correct. You wont make less money by being in a higher tax bracket. Its a marginal system, so youre right that even if it were to increase your bracket, only the amount over that threshold is taxed at the higher amt
