Single vs married filing jointly
On a single $90,000 income, married filing jointly keeps about $76,675 in a no-income-tax state - roughly $4,530 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 $90,000 a good salary?
$90,000 a year is comfortably above the roughly $80,000 US median household income - an upper-middle income. You keep most of it, but a larger slice now falls in the 22% federal bracket, so take-home rises a little slower than your raise.
