Sure, let's break down the details for Marilyn's payroll deductions step-by-step.
### 1. Determine the Federal Tax Withheld
Marilyn's gross pay is [tex]\( \$810 \)[/tex]. According to the table, we need to find the appropriate federal tax based on her claims (3 allowances) and her gross pay range.
- Marilyn has claimed 3 federal withholding allowances.
- Her gross pay falls in the range of [tex]\( \$800 \)[/tex] to [tex]\( \$820 \)[/tex].
From the table, the federal tax withheld for someone earning between [tex]\( \$800 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( \$820 \)[/tex] with 3 withholding allowances is [tex]\( \$37 \)[/tex].
Federal Tax Withheld: [tex]\( \$37 \)[/tex]
### 2. Calculate the Social Security Tax
Social Security tax is calculated as 6.2% of the gross pay.
Given:
[tex]\[ \text{Gross Pay} = \$810 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Social Security Tax Rate} = 6.2\% = 0.062 \][/tex]
So, the Social Security tax is:
[tex]\[ \text{Social Security Tax} = 0.062 \times 810 = 50.22 \][/tex]
Social Security Tax: [tex]\( \$50.22 \)[/tex]
### 3. Summary of Deductions
- Federal Tax Withheld: [tex]\( \$37 \)[/tex]
- Social Security Tax: [tex]\( \$50.22 \)[/tex]
Thus, from Marilyn's gross pay of [tex]\( \$810 \)[/tex], the federal tax withheld is [tex]\( \$37 \)[/tex] and the Social Security tax is [tex]\( \$50.22 \)[/tex].
