What kind of tax rates are these employees paying in the US?
How much is someone on 240K at face book going to actually take home at the end of the year?
Also im wondering if those salaries include stock options.

feeling jelly? lol... stocks should be extra... salary is salary....yes these people do make a lot... partly to compensate the high living cost, but more importantly these new tech giants generate much higher profit per employee than traditional companies.
No was not jelly, i used to earn more than that as a Java Developer when i worked in IT 10 years ago.
I was just thinking about the huge difference in pay between twitter and facebook, thought it might be down to stock options.

There are two income taxes in the USA. One federal income tax applicable across the USA and one state tax. For $250K, the federal income tax is approximately 35%. For the state income tax, it varies widely from no tax to approximately 12%. You would have to do more research to get exact figures.
I believe California, Oregon, Minnesota, Iowa and New York are among the highest. If a taxpayer lived in California for example, his total tax rate would be approx. 35%+11% or 46%. Texas, Florida, Washington state, Nevada and a few others have no income tax. For individuals living in these tax-free states, their total income tax rate would be only the federal income tax rate of 35%. However, states augment their revenues by using regressive taxes such as car registration fees, gasoline taxes, state sales tax, highway toll fees, perhaps a highway tax, etc... States with higher state income taxes also tend to offer better publicly financed benefits such as better public universities, etc... Tuition Costs:
California: $5,742 per year.
Texas: Average $9,265 per year.
