Why do people think that you make more if you get 2 paychecks versus 1 paycheck for the same pay period?

Asked by sarahclif (135points) July 14th, 2009

Co-workers keep saying that if you get paid with 1 check for 160 hours at once versus 2 checks for 80 hours you make less. This doesn’t make sense since taxes are a percentage. Why would they be right?
