In reply to the discussion: Got my new paycheck today with new withholding. [View all]WillowTree
(5,325 posts)47. I think they meant that their *takehome* went from $399.26 to $466.50.
Think about it. If the withholding was increased by that amount, the paycheck would actually be $67 less than it was before which doesn't make any sense. I think it was just a slip.
