the payroll period. Multiply this amount by the number
of payroll periods you have in a year. The result is the
employee’s annual federal income tax withheld. An indi-
vidual’s federal income tax deduction is limited to $5,000
($10,000 if a combined return). These limitations should
be applied on an aggregate basis. (Multiply by: 260 if you
pay daily, 52 if you pay weekly, 26 if you pay bi‑weekly, 24
if you pay semi‑monthly, or 12 if you pay monthly.)
Supplemental Pay Withholding
If the employee has supplemental or overtime pay, and the payment is included with normal wages, apply the
withholding formula to the total payment as if it was a regular payroll wage payment.
If the employee has supplemental or overtime pay and the overtime wages are paid separately from regular
wages, you may withhold based upon one of the following two methods.
• Withhold a flat percentage rate of 6 percent of the supplemental wages; or
• Add the supplemental wages to the regular wages paid for the payroll period and apply the withholding
formula to the total amount as if it was a regular payroll wage payment. Then subtract the tax already with‑
held from the regular wage payment and withhold the remaining tax from the supplemental payment.
