Questions people ask

How is federal income tax withheld from my paycheck?

Employers use the IRS percentage method in Publication 15-T: your pay for the period is annualized, adjusted by the entries on your Form W-4, run through the 2026 tables, and divided back by the number of pay periods.

How much Social Security and Medicare comes out?

6.2% Social Security on wages up to $184,500 in 2026, and 1.45% Medicare on all wages, plus 0.9% Additional Medicare once your wages for the year pass $200,000.

Does a 401(k) contribution lower my taxes?

A traditional 401(k) deferral lowers federal income tax wages but not Social Security and Medicare wages. Pre-tax health premiums under a section 125 plan lower both.

Why is Minnesota tax not included?

Minnesota's 2026 withholding formula is still being verified against the state's published examples. Federal tax, Social Security and Medicare are exact.
