McCutchen grossed $820,659.88 during the pay period, though he took home ''only'' $427,098.49. Among the deductions: $322,074 in federal income tax, $19,285 to Medicare and $16,775 to the state of Pennsylvania as well as taxes in Missouri and Illinois, places the team visited during a recent road trip.
There's even a $9,856 deduction for something called the Pittsburgh Professional Athlete Fee.
While social media took notice that McCutchen put only $1,500 toward his 401k (or 0.001% of his check) turns out there's a reason. That's the highest allotted by the IRS before it becomes taxable.
