How much money will be deducted from my paycheck in WA?

Question

I am working 21.5 hours a week at minimum wage ($8.07) and trying to figure out how much I will get paid every two weeks so I can plan for a vacation. I know nothing about taxes, and I'm looking for someone who does! Thanks!

Answer 1

Your gross wages will be $347.02 for the two weeks.  Since Washington does not have a state income tax, your deductions will be $21.52 for Social Security, $5.03 for Medicare, and $11.00 for income tax(assuming 1 dependent).  So you should net $309.47 every 2 weeks.

Answer 2

Go to Yahoo and search "paycheck estimator" There is a website where you put in how much you get paid, how often, etc., and it will estimate how much your check will be.   It's pretty accurate, mine was only off by $5
