Just weeks after Congress averted the Fiscal Cliff, Nashua-area residents have undoubtedly started seeing the effect of the loss of the payroll tax cut in their paychecks.
If you make $50,000 a year, you are now paying about $1,000 more in federal taxes, according to CBS. For those who are paid twice each month, that amounts to about $42 less per paycheck or $84 less per month.
The Wall Street Journal has a calculator to determine how much more in taxes you are now paying a year based on your salary.

$2,274. That's money that will not be spent in the economy. Thanks, Obama!
