My boss is upset about this month’s paycheck. He got a $100 bonus which put him in a higher tax bracket and it lowered his net pay.

That’s not actually possible, except in esoteric cases where he’s taking advantage of some tax credit only available at the lower income levels. With simple progressive taxation, it can’t work that way— you don’t get taxed a higher rate on your entire income.

Do you know what tax credit he was using?
