Are You Anticipating Your Own Personal Take-Home Pay to Go Up in February?

I have a buddy that probably makes a little under $20/hour. He just got his first paycheck under the new tax guidance and his net was up $63 for two weeks. His comment was, “not crumbs… thank you Mr. President”.

What the hell does he know? The Democrats say it's just crumbs so it's just crumbs.

Bunch of 1%'ers ITT.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, I won't see D-day until sometime in the summer.
Me too. If you see it in the summer, you, yourself, are a 1% (or a 2% at worst). The folks in this thread that you are referencing are the 0.25%'ers. And they deserve to be taxed to the hilt.

For me, not 1%'er, though 2017 is as close as I've ever been with a nice RSU cash-out after an acquisition.

However, now that I'm part of the largest German company and one of the world's largest, I can kiss all that equity windfall opportunity goodbye.

I get my bonus on tax day for one last year before we go to the new fiscal calendar, so that skews my D-day a bit.
 
Hmm...

I just 'davidallen'ed the top one percentile and it looks like the threshold has advanced notably.

I'm not really all that close now. :D

I'm a 1%er. I may even be a 0.00001%er. I'm possibly the only decent Sooner fan in existence.

Just googled it. To be a 1% you have to make $394K per year. So nope, not there yet. But did get a 6 figure bonus check for the first time ever, which means I'm getting closer.

Nice! Yeah I underestimated the "1%" levels some. I think it is now actually > $400K. If you hit the FICA limit in the summer though, you are somewhere between a 1% and a 5%.

Probably is. Just noticed that the link was dated 2013. Likely has gone up some.
 
Working in the finance industry has its perks every February. That said, I was blown away when I was given my number. I was expecting 70, hoping for 80 and hit 3 digits. :D

The chip design industry isn't quite so lucrative unless you are well ensconced in middle or upper management, or you are a friggin' genius and borderline indispensable.

The best cumulative annual bonus numbers I've had before come in just shy of twenty. I'm hoping this year might be better but there's a lot yet to happen - our FY ended yesterday but we have a short year that ends September 30th and then we 'really' become part of Siemens.

What a crumby bonus.
 
Define comp. Salary, bonus, 401k match, stock options, restricted stock, deferred comp?
 
I may hit D day for the first time this year, but may fall just short. Got My last big RSU payout (company was acquired and now I get options...last years were shit, at least so far) and waiting to see what my bonus is. Just found out this week my bonus plan is restructuring, likely for the better but they gave a raise to make up for the chance it could be lower. Crazy shit. I honestly have no clue how much I make right now.
 
My take home pay increased by 5%. Thank you Mr. Trump and Republican Congressional members for giving me more personal control over my own finances and therefore my own life.
