What affects weekly take-home pay?

At $500,000 a year, weekly net income can move substantially depending on how compensation is structured. Large bonuses, stock compensation, and deferred pay can change withholding patterns. State taxes can reduce weekly cash flow far more than many people expect. Benefit elections and retirement contributions can also alter what lands in your paycheck, even when your annual gross salary stays the same. That is why a clean federal-only estimate is useful as a starting point.
