How the tax on $140,000 is worked out
Your top dollars fall in the 37% bracket ($135,001 to $190,000). Only the part of your income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate. You're $5,000 over the $135,000 threshold. Only that $5,000 is taxed at the higher rate, so crossing a bracket never lowers your take-home pay.
