Notes on withholding taxes

The State withholding amount and the Withhold Rate were taken from the Michigan Income Tax Withholding Guide, 446 (Rev 7-06). Please contact your State Department of Treasury, or whomever, to get the proper and current withholding amounts/rates for your State and simply enter them in. You should be able to find this payroll information easily on the Internet.

Calculations for both Federal and State withholding amounts deduct the 401K contribution and the (# of Withholdings x Amount) from the Gross BEFORE calculating the withholding amount. Please contact your State Department of Treasury, or whomever, to get the proper and current method for calculating payroll withholding tax in your State.

Example

The following MICHIGAN example, assuming a weekly pay period for a single person, with $600.00 earned, will illustrate how our estimation calculator derives an answer.

State Withholding: $63.46,  (600 - ((1 x 63.45) x .039) = 20.92 in tax. Federal Withholding: See Circular E, Employer's Tax Guide, page 35.
