text: tax question, if bob's salary is 65k a year, and he got about $900 a week after taxes, where does he live?   the question is very vague -- we're not given any information about what bob's marital status (or rather whether he is withholding at a married or single rate)   at 900 a week, he takes home $46800 annually.  6.2% of his 65k salary goes to social security ($4030) and 1.45% goes to medicare (942.50).  $60027.50 left before figuring his tax percentage, which works out at 22% (but that's not a correct figure, as it doesn't figure in state taxes, personal exemption, and standard deduction)
