Is this the correct usage of 'aggregate'

I saw this dissucussion about PTO (I'm actually not sure what this is) on a forum and wondering if the sentence is correct.

A:That money will get taxed as a bonus though and will be in the 40+%
B: It's 25% in America unless the firm uses aggregate of your next paycheck

Would the correct usage be 'the aggregate" of your next paycheck?

And maybe this is outside the range of the forum, why would the tax change by using the aggregate of your next paycheck?

Thanks!

  • Therefore, I don't know.
  • In any case, tax laws are not logical; they depend upon how much money the government needs.

"aggregate" on its own makes for a rather telegraphic style, so I too prefer "the aggregate".

aggregate (noun) ... 2 : the whole sum or amount

He was referring to the current check and the next check.
Would he have to word it differently then?

[The aggregate of your current and next check.]

From the little we know of the entire document and its purpose, yes, it certainly seems he would have to say "the aggregate of your current and next check".

PTO here refers to Paid Time Off, a term that covers paid vacation time and paid sick leave.
