但係某程度上, 加人工會變減!
咁岩bump左你去下個tax bracket, 加人工其實係無so呀

Thats not true at all.

One should always know the average tax is different from "marginal tax rate"

"Marginal tax rate" is what tax rate one will pay for each additional $ of income earned. If your marginal tax rate before the raise was 28% and your raise put one in a top 43.5% rate, only the additional amount is subject to 43.5% -not the earnings before.

Bottomline - earn as much as possible and don't worry about the tax (for now) - thats how the wealthy people earn their money

Exception- If your income is very high this year and you may be laid off very soon - then the final pay/severence pay
may be better off if paid in the next tax year where your income may be less than the current year
