Single vs married filing jointly
On a single $60,000 income, married filing jointly keeps about $52,570 in a no-income-tax state - roughly $2,180 more than filing single, because the joint federal brackets and standard deduction are wider. If both spouses earn, add the incomes together and check the joint brackets - two similar salaries can push more income into higher brackets.
Is $60,000 a good salary?
$60,000 a year sits around the US median household income (roughly $80,000), so it is a genuine middle-class salary in most of the country. How far it goes depends heavily on where you live and whether you support anyone else.
