Does making more money put you in a higher tax bracket
If you get a raise to $8,000, your tax bill is now $800.

But only the additional income that falls in the higher tax bracket is subject to the higher tax.
Is it better to be at the top of a tax bracket
You really will take home more money in each paycheck. When an increase in income moves you into a higher tax bracket, you only pay the higher tax rate on the part of your income that falls into that bracket. You don't pay a higher rate on all of your income.
Can you make less money in a higher tax bracket
Different brackets of income are taxed at different percentages. Your marginal tax rate — the highest percentage of tax you'll pay — only applies to the income that falls within your top tax bracket, not to the income in all your lower brackets. So you won't take home less money after taxes if your salary increases.
Can the standard deduction put me in a lower tax bracket
