Does my net paycheck decrease as the year goes on due to tax brackets filling up?
If your payroll payments are the same each period, you will generally have the same net pay per period.  Some things that can cause variations: If your employer puts special payments in a specific paycheck (such as a quarterly or annual bonus, or a vacation payout) this can increase the percentage held from that specific paycheck.  The IRS publishes lookup tables, and your payroll system should withhold the amount in the lookup table.   If you get a raise midyear, your new payroll withholding rate may increase based on the gross pay amount.   http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15.pdf
