But that's as good as ~60k in a job where you pay taxes

I hope you pay an accountant to do your taxes, because that's way, way off.

If you earn $60k in a state like, NY, your take home amount will be $45,363

CA: $47,763

TX: $49,949

There are different countries with different taxes. And in some they can get close to 50%

[–] ChoppersMo@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

yes and no. Yes, you can get up to 98% tax rate, I'm sure - but that's not how tax brackets work.

also, OOP is from the USA.
