Taxable income after the standard deduction is $58,900 for a single filer — still within the 22% bracket, not yet reaching the 24% threshold.
The Medicare additional 0.9% surtax does not apply at this income — that only kicks in above $200,000 single / $250,000 married.
A 5% 401(k) contribution at this salary is $3,750/year, which meaningfully reduces both taxable income and, often, your marginal exposure.
