No one is paying 40% total tax rate unless they are single, make $350,000+, and live in a high tax area (NYC, San Francisco). If you are married, you have to make at least $800,000 to pay 40% overall.
That’s what I used. Still some question about how much nontaxable retirement/Healthcare as well as what the state taxes would be. I estimated $5,700 in federal and $1000 in state. Based on 10% to retirement and $2400 a year for insurance, right off the top, and a 3% state tax.
