The other reason likely has to do with taxes. If I was making 50k a year and filing my taxes as a single earner, I'm going to end up with a different take home vs if I was married filing jointly and my spouse made 300k. Plus all of the other things we can have and adjust as deductibles and pretax things like 401k, 403b, Insurance, HSA, etc.
