$72.00 an hour is $149,760 a year at 40 hours a week, a high-wage full-time income.
At this level income spans the 24% bracket and above, and Social Security tax stops once your wages pass the $184,500 wage base — so your marginal payroll tax actually drops above that point while income tax rises. If your wages exceed $200,000, the extra 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax begins to apply. Maximising pre-tax 401(k) contributions is the most direct way to reduce taxable income in this range.
