What this means
Of every extra $100 you earn, you’d take home about $64. The other 36% is your marginal rate: the rate on a raise, a bonus or overtime.
Across all your pay, only 23% goes to tax and deductions, because the first part of your income is taxed at lower rates. A raise never lowers your take-home pay overall.
