What is the state income tax rate in CA?

CA has a graduated personal income tax with MTRs ranging from 1% to 9.3%. In addition, just over two years ago CA voters approved an additional 1% surcharge on TI for taxpayers with TIs above $1 million.

You shouldn't enjoy that money being taking out for roads, you already pay a ton of tax for roads everytime you fill up.

A ton of tax for roads on a fill-up? The US has a rather low tax on fuel...
 
Just be happy to know that this will go to all of the illegal immigrants that are supposed to get amnesty in a few months. Just 18mo's after that they qualify for full social security benifits. Perhaps some might be left after you work the 10 years that are required from you. Win win. The illegals would have had to put 20 years into the mexican system.

Possibly the lowest in the world - we pay way way more over here.

I just got my first paycheck at my new job.
Total deductions for federal/state/social security/etc:
$853.46

That's for *two weeks* of pay. Taxes in principle don't bother me. I enjoy having roads and police and national defense and whatnot...

But, $1700/month? That's insane. I could buy a house with that. I guess I need to find a good accountant. There's got to be some way to get some of that back at the end of the year.

Why do you think people so desparately try to find deductions? If single, don't own home and make a decent wage you are getting BENT OVER. If you make more than 130K you REALLY get bent over. You have a few choices...

Own home
Get married
Have kids

Just because you get screwed worse doesn't mean we're not getting screwed. Our actual tax rate is over 50% in this country, depending on your income and property ownership. Not sure how that compares to yours, but our taxes here are still rediculous.

So you're making somewhere around $60k a year. Leaves you with about $3300 a month to live on. Effective tax rate of around 30-33%. Yep, you know how everyone else feels now. You've just discovered why the intelligent working class votes Republican.

The effective tax rate is 50%+ once you include sales tax, social security, state, local, property, utilities.

Because they keep spending money on credit without any way of paying for it?

They are paying for it by borrowing, just like the people they serve.
