Example Calculation
Suppose:
- Pay Period: Biweekly
- Gross Pay: $3,000
- Filing Status: Single
- Federal Allowances: 1
- Pre-Tax Deductions: $200 (401k)
Step 1: Calculate taxable income → 3000 - 200 = 2800 per period
Step 2: Annualize → 2800 × 26 = $72,800
Step 3: Apply standard deduction and allowances → $72,800 - 13,850 - 4,300 = $54,650
Step 4: Calculate federal tax → $6,147 annually / 26 = $236.42 per period
Step 5: Calculate NY State and NYC tax → $2,200 / 26 = $84.62 and $1,000 / 26 = $38.46
Step 6: Social Security → 2800 × 6.2% = $173.60
Step 7: Medicare → 2800 × 1.45% = $40.60
Step 8: Total deductions → $236.42 + 84.62 + 38.46 + 173.60 + 40.60 + 200 = $773.70
Step 9: Net Pay → 3000 - 773.70 = $2,226.30
Result:
- Gross Pay: $3,000
- Federal Tax: $236.42
- State Tax: $84.62
- City Tax: $38.46
- Social Security: $173.60
- Medicare: $40.60
- Total Deductions: $773.70
- Net Pay: $2,226.30
