Question

If you make $8.26 per hour how much will the gov take from that amount?

Answer 1

TOO MUCH! probably >30% depending on where you live and how high state taxes are.

Answer 2

Depends how many hours you work, what you claim, and what state you live in.

Answer 3

This depends on how your exemptions are set. They're bound to take more if you're single and childless than if married with children, but you also might get more back. All depends on what you put on your W-4.

A rough estimate for me is 20% gross wage.

Answer 4

There are a number of factors that go into answering your question.  The government will take 6.2% for SS and 1.45% for Medicare.  After that you are subject to withholding which is determined by what information you put on your W-4 form and how frequently you are paid.
