My suggestion is to focus on your tax bracket in determining the impact of taxes on your income. If you can fill up the bracket without going to a higher bracket. I do not know your tax bracket but here is an example:
Tax Brackets and Rates, 2021
|
22%
|
$40,526 to $86,375
|
$81,051 to $172,750
|
24%
|
$86,376 to $164,925
|
$172,751 to $329,850
|
32%
|
$164,926 to $209,425
|
$329,851 to $418,850
|
35%
|
$209,426 to $523,600
|
$418,851 to $628,300
|
Using the above bracket amounts of $40,526 to $86,375. If your adjusted gross income is $50,000, you will not enter a higher tax bracket until you make $36,375 more to fill up the bracket. Do not forget to withdraw your standard deduction amount from your gross income to arrive at your adjusted gross income.
