3. Using the correct table, select the wage bracket containing the amount of taxable
wages paid to the employee. Certain payments made by the employer into
employee retirement plans or for employee heath insurance are not considered
wages and are not included in the calculations of withholding tax.
4. Select the correct column for the number of personal allowances claimed.
5. Read across the row of the correct wage bracket and down the column of the
correct number of personal allowances.
6. Add to the amount at the intersection the additional amount of withholding
requested on the Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate (IA W4) Line 6
divided by the number of pay periods in a year.
WAGES OVER THE TOP BRACKET AMOUNT OF THE TABLE
Instructions
1. Subtract top bracket amount of wages from total taxable wages.
2. Multiply the result by 8.98 percent.
3. Add the tax amount over the top bracket to the tax amount from the table for the
top bracket amount.
4. The sum of these two is the amount to be withheld.
Example
Person earning $2,880 biweekly salary claiming three personal allowances.
$2,880 - $2,300 = $580 excess over top bracket.
$580 x 8.98% = $52.08.
$17.96 + $113.00 (withholding top bracket amount)
$165.08 total withholding. (Rounded = $165.00)
WAGES PAID DAILY
Instructions
1. Multiply daily wages by 10.
2. Find withholding amount on biweekly table.
3. Divide withholding amount by 10.
Example
Person earning $60 daily wages claiming two personal allowances.
$60 x 10 = $600.
Withholding on $600 biweekly wages equals $12.00.
$12.00 ÷10 = $1.20 withholding. (Rounded = $1.00)
BONUSES AND COMMISSIONS
Bonus paid during each pay period
If the bonus or commission is paid as a part of the regular pay during each pay period, simply
add the bonus to the regular pay and calculate withholding on the total payment.
Bonuses paid less often than regular pay
If a bonus is paid several times a year, but less often than the regular pay, the withholding on the
bonus or commission is calculated by annualizing the payment.
