Original Note:
This is a common belief, but it is entirely wrong. That’s not how tax rates work! Marginal or “progressive” income tax brackets apply ONLY to the income earned in each bracket. https://investinganswers.com/dictionary/m/marginal-tax-rate In the United States, it is impossible for a higher salary to cause lower after-tax income. https://www.irs.gov/filing/federal-income-tax-rates-and-brackets
