You can make the determination as to whether you provided more than half of your own support which would make you independent. Keep in mind that who claims a dependent is not an optional, rather who is the qualifying taxpayer eligible to list a dependent.
The IRS Publication 501, page 15 (Worksheet for Determining Support) will show you what you should include for your support. If any of your money was placed in a savings account (and not withdrawn) those funds would not be considered as used for your support. Also, you should be looking at your spendable money, so after the tax withholdings, use your net pay.
