Question

What is the average tax percentage taken out of your pay??

Answer 1

It varies from state to state but exactly 17% is taken out of each of my checks (I claim 0).

Answer 2

Gross total - 6.2% (social security) - 1.45% (medicare) - state tax - federal tax = net paycheck

State & federal tax amounts depend on if you file single/married and the amount of dependents.  I do payroll for a construction office so I know this is accurate.  To determine the exact amounts of your own paycheck...check out this website, I use it once in a while to make sure its accurate.....   www.payroll-taxes.com  and select "Paycheck Calculator" and enter the necessary information.
