eli5: If I work a lot of overtime, do I still get more money even though I’m taxed more?

1.40K views

I usually opt to work more during the holiday season because we get higher wages (holiday pay). I signed up for a lot of extra days and my co-workers keep telling me that because I’ll make more money, I’ll get taxed more. So I’ll be receiving less pay than I’d usually make without the overtime. Is that right? I feel stupid right now.

Sometimes when I work extra overtime I take home less. Working 65 hours per week nets me more pay then if I were to work 70. How do taxes work on a paycheck to paycheck basis? For clarification, I get paid every two weeks
