How much money will be taken out of my paycheck for taxes?

Question

I am a 16 year old girl and I am working at Aeropostle for my first job. When I filled out the w4 form, I only filed one claim. I get payed every 2 weeks. If I make $192 every 2 weeks.....how much of that will be taken away for taxes? Or what percentage will Uncle Sam take away from me? How much of that $192 will I actually get to KEEP?!

Please help me!

Answer 1

Go to www.irs.gov.

The website has a calculator available to check whether or not proper withholdings are taken from your pay.

The state amount would be based on your state's income.

Answer 2

Enter you pay information here:

www.paycheckcity.com

I show about $177.32 but it could be a little lower depending on what state you are in.

Answer 3

About 20-25% of your pay will go to the various taxes, depending on your state.
