Anyone else checked their pay stubs yet for this year?

[Blake]

Holy crap lol.

This new 2013 FICA is now eating up what is basically my car payment

[I. Hustle]

Mine is coming up yet. I guess they want to leave me in suspense.

[Wild Cobra]

I mentioned some time back that this 2% would bite. I expect tomorrows check to be more than $60 lighter. Guess I'll wait and see.

[Wild Cobra]

Expect it to be more by your (gross pay - insurance) x 2%. For a two week check

$3,000 gross - $100 = $2900

$2900 x 0.02 = $58

A 2 week check would be about $58 less.

[JoeChalupa]

I knew this was coming as it was never to be a permanent tax reduction so I didn't budget it in for 2013. But I'm slightly below the 400K level so I'm good.

[Blake]

it's a little less than I thought. I forgot I had changed my insurance plan.

[Girasuck]

I'm less $43 per week. Awesome!

[Johnson]

it's the same FICA rate thats been around for over 20 years

Back to normal after a temporary reduction and everyone acts like it's some new increase.

I agree, it's not a new increase. I prepared myself last year, and they extended it. I was pissed. We need the revenue into the government coffers. I'm glad they did away with it this go-around, but I with they increased it slowly, as not to hurt the idiots that didn't prepare for it.

[benefactor]

Got me for 90 bucks this pay period.

[DarrinS]

Paying more taxes is patriotic. Yay!

[GoodOdor]

I guess George Zimmerman won't be getting any donations from you anymore, huh:cry

:lmao

[Spurminator]

That's the thing with temporary tax breaks. They're temporary.

Except the Bush cuts, apparently.

[Jacob1983]

Putting aside the epic failure that Bush was and possible 9/11 inside job conspirator, the Bush tax cuts did more good than harm.

[ploto]

Holy crap lol.

How much do you make if 2% of your paycheck would be your car payment?

[Cochina]

What pay stub? :hat

[mrsmaalox]

What pay stub? :hat

Cash only?

[Blake]

How much do you make if 2% of your paycheck would be your car payment?

You're assuming I have a big car payment?

It's less than I thought. I had a one time extra FICA hit on my paycheck because my company deposited money into my Health Spending Account, which they said counts as income.

...which they are now saying might not be after all and I might get reimbursed...

Weird.

Keep throwing that out there, someone might get impressed eventually. Hell just start a thread "I make this much".

I've seen companies do that to entire sectors and pay them the following quarter. What they don't do though is pay out the interest they made on those millions while it was sitting in the bank.

Sometimes that kind of thing happens too often to be accidental.

Holy crap lol.

I was going to say after reading your first post, just exactly how fucking much do you make a week?!

A car payment from a 2% increase? If that were the case, and lets say $600 is a car payment...

600 x 12 = $7200 a year

7200 / 52 weeks = $138.46 per week

138.46 is 2% of $6923.00 (I havent cross-multiplied since grade school, holy shit the things you forget)

If you make $6923 per week, I wouldnt worry about the 2% too much. Youre only going to pay it for 14.44 weeks anyway (SS is capped on first $100k made).

Or he could have a really really shitty car.

[Blake]

Why would you say $600?

[DarkReign]

Why would you say $600?

Semantics, man, dont get hung up on it. It was just a completely random guess right out of thin fucking air.

[DarkReign]

Or he could have a really really shitty car.

Point taken. In that case, I am paying for a more moderately priced, mid-sized vehicle every month now.

[Blake]

Or he could have a really really shitty car.

so cars that cost no less than $20k are really really shitty to you.

lol richers.

[rascal]

What is it on 31k?

[Blake]

Semantics, man, dont get hung up on it. It was just a completely random guess right out of thin fucking air.

It was your original question, not mine. Was just curious where you got that number from.

I also never specified how often I get my paycheck.

[DarkReign]

It wasnt a question, it was an assumption.

Semantics, no thanks. I think its reasonable to assume most individuals are paid weekly.

Looked like a question to me. whatever.

Amusing, thanks.

[Wild Cobra]

In my experience, most jobs pay every two weeks.

Interesting. Its been my experience to be one week. Then again, I dont get out much or change jobs.

It could also be a regional thing.
