I used to have a really nice spreadsheet that calculated taxes as an expense for you so you could play with scenarios but I can't find it.

I'm in the middle of negotiating a pay raise and need to decide if I want to stay or go elsewhere. 

Assuming the following:
Dual household income, one dependent child toddler.
Standard deduction
3.07% state + 1.5% local tax on all income (no deductions allowed, even no 401k deduction at the state level)
Current household income: 180k
Max two 401ks for a total of 39k

I am trying to increase my household income to 250k
If my expenses stay at the same level of 84k annually, how much more money would I have available to invest annually and if I invest all of it, how much does that cut down my years to FIRE?

If anyone can point me to a calculator that can help me with this, I would appreciate it.

The case study spreadsheet?

Yes, thank you!  Spent all morning looking for it.  That answers my question, thanks!

Appears you are covered for the state tax calculations.

For local tax, instead of =H36*G11 in cell G36, you could change that to something like =H36*(G11+D11+D50) - if I understand the state/local tax law correctly.

Thank you, appreciate the advice there as I had not configured it that way.  By the way, this is THE most amazing spreadsheet ever.  Over the past few years I have spent hours playing around with it.  So grateful that you have decided to share it.
