How much is income tax in california?

Question

i want to have $3000 in my pocket after taxes.....how much should i ask for in gross?

Answer 1

It depends on how often you want your $3,000

Answer 2

Ask for $4,000 gross.  If you assume that taxes and other withholding is 25 percent that will cover it.  However there are a number of factors that go into determining net pay from gross that you have not supplied so this is just a guess.
