| Op here - I find bonuses interesting. I work in a field with almost $0 bonuses. But my DH works in a field where bonuses range from $50,000 to over $1 million and up. Seems insane that a bonus is more than most peoples salaries. |

It’s the norm in the financial industry. Often even senior managing directors are capped at like $500k of salary but may receive $10MM bonuses. It in theory means that they have to fire fewer people in down years because compensation is the highest expense. |

So interesting that someone might not know their HHI. Is that because it’s so enormous that it doesn’t matter? Or so irregular that you can’t predict?
Ours is $270k, evenly split between DH and myself. |

| Assuming bonus similar to last year, $600k (two-income family, wife the bread winner) + another $300k in investment income. Bread winner retiring in the next 3-4 years. |

| Op - we are in our early 40s. HHI will be $650,000 with a potential $250-300,000 bonus. |

How much of all of that will go to taxes, do you think? |

Op - I have zero idea. A ton I am sure! |

| If bonus is same-ish as last year (which is what we expect, based on business results), then HHI is $800K with $100K from bonus. Early 40s, two household income pretty evenly split. |

| These threads always make me laugh. What a pissing contest. What really matters isn't how much you earn each year. It's how much you have. |
