Do you feel the pain of your reduced salary from the beginning of 'year?
when the deduction of tax on the temporary payroll ended in December, our tax deductions for social security rose to 6.2% of our gross earnings.
He was only 4.2% when the temporary reduction in force.
2% more of your salary may not seem like a huge amount. But on a salary of $ 2,000 per pay period, which is $ 40.
If you look at your dollars that could have been paying on a credit card account, or the cost of milk for a month.
There's just one more reason you may find that you are short of money before you run out of month.
If you're like many Americans, however, who have too much income tax withheld from their wages, you can hit the net pay back up to the amount you get last year, without risk of having a tax bill next April.
if to get paid now
it is your money and you should get it now - not next year. The average American taxpayer gets a refund of about $ 3,000 per year. That is $ 250 per month. That's a lot of gas and lunch money, or better yet, the money to pay off credit card debt
There's your money, and you should get now -. Not in a year. ( tweet this )
In fact, when you carry the 18% credit card debt, leaving the government to take your money and you pay no interest everything, so you pay interest for the credit card company, costing you money.
another reason why you should not use overwithholding like a savings plan is that if you need money for an emergency, you will not be able to get it.
what if overwithholding is the only way I can save money?
If it seems that the only way you can save money is to not see the first, you're onto something.
However, you can find better ways to automatically put the money into savings of having Uncle Sam hold it for you.
for example, you can increase the amount you deducted for the pension plan from your employer. This could reduce your tax bill, too.
Another option is to have the amount automatically transferred from your account to your savings account every month, preferably right after you get paid.
You'll get the same effect, but your money is under your control, and earn interest for you.
