Hi everybody! Hi Suzanne! I have always wondered about this and maybe this thread would be the one that could answer this. Could someone kindly explain how the taxation in the US works. Lets say Im earning $30/hour, how much of it would actually go to taxes and other deductions. What would be the actual net pay in a month after all the deductions? I'll be arriving in the NY on the last week of Sept. , and I've heard that New York is a very expensive state so I would like to have an idea on my actual earnings. Thanks very much.:)
