Also someone making $100k a year does not have an effective tax rate of 35%.
Sorry figured they were looking for a monthly figure. Besides the fact, if you’re living in base (sea, pdx, lax or sfo) with all the federal and/or state taxes plus medical deductions, yea your take home is probably 65% gross.
