Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the Social Security Tax

Social Security Tax = Gross Pay  x Social Security tax rate = $620 x 6.2% = $38.44

Use the following formula to calculate the Medicare Tax withholding

Medicare Tax = Gross Pay  x Medicare tax rate = $620 x 1.45% = $8.99

Federal Income Tax withholding = $70.00 ( From the attached Table )

Use the following formula to calculate the Income Tax

Income Tax = Gross Pay x Income tax rate = $620 x 1% = $6.2

Use the following formula to calculate the net pay

Net Pay = Gross Pay - Social Security Tax - Medicare Tax - Federal Income Tax withholdiing - Income Tax = $620 - $38.44 - $8.99 - $70.00 - $6.2 = $496.37
