Ways to Increase Your Take-Home

📈

A $5,000 401(k) contribution saves $3,543/yr in taxes

💍

Married filing jointly saves $4,587/yr

If you have a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), you can contribute up to $4,400 to an HSA pre-tax. This reduces your taxable income and saves $3,407 in federal and state taxes — a triple tax advantage.
