The take home in California would be $20k+ per month. Income tax for a single person would be 40% and if married it'd be 32%. That's not counting any deductions

The take home in California would be $20k+ per month. Income tax for a single person would be 40% and if married it'd be 32%. That's not counting any deductions you could do or $401k match. edit: The comp is also not counting stock appreciation which historically was a lot. If you joined Apple in 2019 with a $200k in annual RSUs over 4 years then this year you'd be making $800k from those RSUs. So likely over a million in total tax reportable income.
