I claim 3 deductions and make about 50-75K per year - is more tax going to be taken out on bi-weekly pay term?

Question

I was a temp that went full-time - when I was a temp, I was paid weekly, and went to perm, and will now be paid every other week - I would think the difference would be immaterial, but someone said more taxes will be taken out, because that will put me in a higher tax bracket.

Answer 1

The frequency of your pay doesn't affect the total tax withholdings at all. Bi-weekly would be exactly double what weekly would be -- gross pay, taxes, net pay, etc.

Answer 2

I think the more deductions you have the less taxes are taken out of your checks.
