monthly basis. How much
is withheld monthly for
state tax?


Sagot :

A graduated income tax applies a different tax rate to different income levels. As one's income rises, so does the tax rate.

The tax withheld per pay period can be computed by using the formula:

[tex]\mathbf{\text{The tax withheld per pay period} =\dfrac{\text{annual tax withheld }}{\text{ number of pay period per year}}}[/tex]

Exemptions include:

  • SIngle = $2000
  • Married  $4,000

For state taxes; if the annual gross pay is higher than $40,000;

  • For the first pay, 3% is deducted,
  • Then, the subsequent pay attracts 4.5%

Since Leslie is single, the exemption will be $2000;

Thus,

Her taxable income  will be = $54,400 - $2,000

= $52,400

However, Leslie tax annual rate on the first month and subsequent month  can now be:

= $((40,000)×3%) + $(52,400 -40,000)×4.5%

= $(40,000 × 0.03) + $(12,400 ×0.045)

= $1200 + $558

=$1758

To determine the monthly state tax withheld, we have:

= $1758/12

= $146.5

Therefore, we can conclude that the monthly state tax withheld is:

= $146.5
