I've heard a bit below 100K yearly. So better than what I expected?

I don't think anyone has received a paycheck under the new scale yet.

They probs didn't maximize their allowances and got a refund in April because too much was withheld. Also, having to pay federal + state + city + social security + medicaid is a bitch, even if you can itemize later.

I was $160k in NYC last year, took no extra exemps, got ~$4200 bimonthly, so who knows what the fuck is going on here.

Bimonthly is slightly more than biweekly, but not that much. Also sounds like you didn't do enough hookers and blow.

lol I answered the original question.

How much did I save? Nothing until I got my tax return, so about $5k I think.
