Mine is coming up yet. I guess they want to leave me in suspense.
Holy crap lol.
This new 2013 FICA is now eating up what is basically my car payment
Mine is coming up yet. I guess they want to leave me in suspense.
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.
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.
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.
it's a little less than I thought. I forgot I had changed my insurance plan.
I'm less $43 per week. Awesome!
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.
Got me for 90 bucks this pay period.
I guess George Zimmerman won't be getting any donations from you anymore, huh![]()
That's the thing with temporary tax breaks. They're temporary.
Except the Bush cuts, apparently.
Putting aside the epic failure that Bush was and possible 9/11 inside job conspirator, the Bush tax cuts did more good than harm.
How much do you make if 2% of your paycheck would be your car payment?
Cash only?
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. 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.
I was going to say after reading your first post, just exactly how ing 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 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 ty car.
Why would you say $600?
Semantics, man, dont get hung up on it. It was just a completely random guess right out of thin ing air.
