Ways to Increase Your Take-Home

📈

A $5,000 401(k) contribution saves $6,969/yr in taxes

If you're married, filing jointly gives you a $32,200 standard deduction (vs $16,100 single) and wider tax brackets. This would add $1,201/month to your take-home.

🗺️

Moving to a no-tax state could net $9,517 more per year
