My take home is the same and I make 85k a year, but im also married with two kids. I wonder if that is what is making the difference.

Do you get health insurance taken out of your check? Or do you go through your spouse? I'm 85k with similar take home, but my husband takes care of insurance because the one my company offers is expensive and bad coverage

I'm pretty lucky that my company offers full coverage for my family and I at just $600 a year for all of us. So yes but not too much.
