Well lookie that! My paycheck went up a whopping $11.89.
Of course, the tax increases that started this year reduced that check $230.63 first
Impossible, unless you have two jobs.
I'm looking at my paycheck stubs (online as it were) right now. That is the *exact* amount my net pay decreased between the last paycheck in Dec, and the first in Jan. I made no changes in terms of deductions (either tax or investments) from my pay.
It's possible that there was an abnormal adjustment for the last batch of checks at the end of the year as a result of a raise I received in November, but that's the normal pattern of raises (it wasn't anything special), and there's no pattern of the amount dropping after the next calendar year for the entire 10+ year list of paycheck stubs. It's just kinda strange, and I'll take the opportunity to blame the Democrats if I want to! :)
