Personally, I'd be willing to take a 1.5% paycut to work in SF instead of the Valley, because I can't stand suburban commutes. But that kind of reasoning is probably why I'm in NYC instead of out west to begin with.
EDIT: Also, I'd suspect that the "1.5% on payrolls over 150k" only applies to the amount in overage, because that's the way most graduated taxes work. So it'd be 150 bucks on the 10k of overage in your 160k example.
- antongm 16y agoWell, in NYC you have a 1.5% income tax, rather than corporate tax, which is almost worse in a way.
- jbooth 16y agoYeah, and that doesn't even bother me, because I love living here and wouldn't trade that 1.5% for a suburban commute. To start with, I don't have to own a car, so that alone probably puts me ahead on income (the cost of rent puts me right back behind again, though). I am still upset as a Red Sox fan that a bunch of that money went to subsidizing the new Yankee Stadium, though.
- gaganpalrecha 16y agobut you could move to south san francisco, and have an easy bart commute and the company wouldn't have to pay any payroll tax.
- gaganpalrecha 16y agono, it's not on the overage. It's on the total amount.
