QUESTION 10 of 10: You make $28,000 per year. You have been offered a promotion and a $5,000 raise per year. Your average federal income tax rate will go up from 12% to 16% per year. Should you take the new job and the raise?
a) Yes
b) No

Answer

a) Yes

Even with the increase in the tax rate, the raise will result in a higher net income. The additional $5,000 raise will be taxed at 16%, resulting in $4,200 after taxes, which is still an increase from the original salary.
