What is the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly paychecks?

A bi-weekly schedule results in 26 paychecks per year (paid every two weeks, usually on Fridays). This means two months of the year will have three paychecks instead of two. A semi-monthly schedule produces exactly 24 paychecks per year (usually paid on the 15th and last day of each month).

Which US states have no state income tax?

Nine US states have no standard state earned income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire (taxes dividend and interest income only), South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington (taxes high capital gains only), and Wyoming.

Does contributing to a 401(k) reduce FICA taxes?

No. Traditional 401(k) contributions are exempt from Federal and State income taxes, but they remain subject to FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare). Section 125 cafeteria plans (like employer health insurance premiums, HSA, and FSA contributions), however, are exempt from both income taxes and FICA.

US Paycheck Calculation & Statutory Tax Withholding Formula

Take-Home Pay = Gross Pay - Federal Tax - FICA (SS 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%) - State Tax - Pre/Post Deductions

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), employee paychecks are subject to deterministic statutory withholdings. Precision IEEE-754 decimal arithmetic ensures zero penny roundoff drift across weekly, bi-weekly, and annual payroll cycles.

Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)

Take-home pay starts with your gross salary or hourly wages. Pre-tax deductions (such as 401(k) contributions and Section 125 health insurance) are subtracted to determine taxable wages. Federal Income Tax is calculated using progressive IRS brackets (10% to 37%) after subtracting the Standard Deduction. FICA taxes (6.2% Social Security up to $168,600 and 1.45% Medicare plus an optional 0.9% high-income surtax) are deducted. Finally, applicable state and local income taxes are withheld.
