MonkeyMama...thanks.
If the pay calculator I listed above is accurate then changing my w/holding allowance to 2 and increases contributions to 8% still leaves me with a slight increase in take home pay. So looks good if accurate. If I overestimated allowances and had to pay back in taxes if it were less than 2200 I believe it wouldn't be a problem. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything in the equation.
