> this income would be taxed entirely at our highest marginal rate

So your one income alone was large enough to put your in the top marginal rate for a couple alone? That's going to be a pretty rare situation.

I wish more people could afford for one person to stay home and for the reaction to a guy taking paternity leave wasn't so stigmatized.



Sorry, the top of whatever our bracket was was my point (that this is a marginal income decision, meaning marginal bracket analysis applies).

It was the 33% bracket federally, which wasn’t the top bracket overall, except perhaps in years with exceptionally good capital gains.
