compare your paychecks

[longbow]

Take a look at you current paycheck and your last 2012 check.

Work has sent out some warnings on the changes and a stub out early for us to enjoy.

Got mine today. Almost $20 less bring home. A..holes.

 

[lucky4034]

Its only the first check isn't it?... (unless you are part of the 1%) The rest will go back to standard robbery rates correct?

 

[loudpedal]

It wouldn't be so bad if they were using it to balance the checkbook.

I bought a Payday bar today, and it was 2% smaller.

 

[Evermoore]

About $45 here..

Not sure if serious??

No, this will be ongoing. It's a 2% hike in social security. It's about $50 a week for me for something I will never get or want when I'm 65.

I get paid friday. I'll have to check in and see..

 

[ZombieApocolypse]

Roughly 50 bucks smaller here

Nope. In passing the fiscal cliff bill, Congress seems to have left out the part keeping the FICA tax rate at 4.2%, so it has now raised back to 6.2% of your gross pay.

And this is only the beginning

It's supposed to average around $1500 for the year on average. Some people actually bought into the lawyerspeak from Obozo about not raising taxes on the middle class and only sticking it to the "rich". Joke's on you! He said he wouldn't raise INCOME taxes on the middle class. What you are looking at is an effective PAYROLL tax increase.

 

[Classic]

BTW - If you took 100% of the earnings from the top 1% it would run the Fed for about a month. The so-called middle class is a much bigger pot to draw from because there are so many more incomes there. If you believe taxing the "rich" or taxing corporations is going to fix anything you must be smoking some real good sh*t.

If your company provides heath care, and you have to pay a part of it, wait until the new insurance rates charged trickle down into your pay check.

I get a double whammy on Friday.

The higher taxes from payroll the personal use of the company car goes up. Some bean counter thinks I should now pay $178 per month for having a company car. They say the company cars are now looked at by the irs in a different light.

This is going to force more companies to charge employees for having a company car.

Basically, they are taking back the IRS mileage rate for the number of miles they think I should use the car. That $178 dollars means I get to have 500 miles per month or so of personal use.

I talked with a rep at my works HR department today concerning the my paycheck having more Federal withhold taken out than my lst check. I was aware of the 2% increase in SS taxes but the Federal Withhold tax. Anyway to make a long story short my worked screwed me a little on the Fed withholding's for this paycheck.

She then said that they just got in the new Federal withholding rates for 2013 and there is an increase coming in February on the amount employers are to withhold for the Feds. Why, I don't know if they tax rate is to stay the same then why raise withholding's? On the other hand once they get your money why not raise your taxes since they already have it?

Keep Working, 47% of the nation needs you to fund the FSA!

 

[RyanV]

I got paid on the 2nd, my check was about $60 less. My employer sent out an email explaining the pay cut which made me even more mad.

 

[Indy60]

Starting this month I have to fork over a new Fed excise tax of 2.3% on every dollar I generate in my business. Not happy about the extra accounting costs in addition to the tax. More quarterly returns I have to pay my accountant to file and the tax on top of that. It all adds up.

 

[CindyE]

We got that warning too. So we get less take-home pay, and congress thinks they need a raise?
