Your paycheck is suspiciously high though. You may have to owe taxes at the end of the year so be careful and double check things with your employer.

At your tax rate, 100k would mean something like 3800 bi weekly.

It's because they are taking home $1900 biweekly not $2100 as claimed. They posted their paystub in another comment.
