Net IncomeChapter 2.1 Federal Income Tax
Objectives:β’ Determine the amount of tax withheld for federal income tax.
Those who have received paychecks before have noticed that the check did not total what the gross income should have been.
In this chapter we will discuss and calculate the deductions and withholdings that can occur from a paycheck.
In order for the federal government to pay for services, a federal income tax (FIT) is withheld from your paycheck.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides employers the tables necessary to determine the amount to withhold from employees paychecks.
The amount withheld depends on your amount of income as well as your marital status, and withholding allowances.
You may claim one allowance for yourself, one for your spouse, and one for each dependent you support.
Net IncomeChapter 2.1 Federal Income Tax
Objectives:β’ Determine the amount of tax withheld for federal income tax.
One method for calculating federal income tax withheld is using the table Married Persons Weekly Payroll.
Dan Caine is a welder, is married and claims 1 allowance. His weekly income is $390.50. What is the federal income tax withheld?
Step 1: Find the income range from the table.
Step 2: Find the column for 2 allowances.
Step 3: Cross intersect to find the amount of federal income tax withheld.
The amount withheld is $18.00.
Percentage Method. Some companies use a percentage method to compute income tax withheld. Percentage method uses taxable wages to determine the withholding amount. Taxable wage depends on the number of allowances you claim and the weekly allowance rate.

What happens if your employer withholds too much?
Net IncomeChapter 2.2 State Income Tax
Objectives:β’ Determine the amount of tax withheld for state income tax (SIT).
Like federal income tax, most states have a state tax. Florida and Texas do not have a state tax; however, the βotherβ taxes can be large to pay for the state provided services.
Some states express the state tax as a percentage using exemptions. Exemptions are very much like federal withholding allowances.

Net IncomeChapter 2.3 Graduated State Income Tax
Objectives:β’ Determine the amount of state tax withheld from a graduated scale.
Some states use a graduated income tax. This means that the more you earn the more tax you will pay.
This is exactly like graduated commission.
We need to introduce a new equation to aid us in determining the amount of taxes being withheld per paycheck.

Net IncomeChapter 2.4 Social Security and Medicare Taxes
Objectives:β’ Calculate the amount withheld for Social Security and Medicare taxes.
The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) requires employers to deduct a percent of your income as taxes for Social Security and Medicare.
Social Security pays for retirement and disability benefits; while Medicare provides medical insurance. These benefits are for those who are 65 years and older.
Social Security tax rate is 6.2% and is paid on the first $97,500 of income. The Medicare tax rate is 1.45% with no limit on your earnings.

Net IncomeChapter 2.5 Group Health Insurance
Objectives:β’ Calculate the deduction for group health insurance.
Many businesses offer to pay for health insurance because group insurance rates are cheaper than individual rates.
Most companies will often pay part of the insurance costs, or premium, while the employee pays for the remaining percentage.

Net IncomeChapter 2.6 Statement of Earnings
Objectives:β’ Calculate the net pay per pay period.
As we have discussed, there are deductions from our paychecks for federal and state taxes, insurance, Social Security, and Medicare. Other deductions may occur for union dues, community contributions, savings and/or retirement plans.
Attached with your pay stub is an itemized list of all your deductions called a statement of earnings. The statement of earnings shows your gross pay, all your deductions and a bottom-line figure which is your net pay.
Net Pay is the amount of money you have left after all withholdings and deductions are subtracted from your gross pay. Tis is sometimes called your net income or your take-home pay.
