CA workers - help me out here

how much in taxes are supposed to be taken out of each paycheck?

i claim single and no dependents.

i just got my check today and it's 82 dollars less than usual. my social security tax was doubled, as was medicare and CA disability. did something happen?!?!

 

[shopbruin]

anyone?

anyone know of a recent raise in how much social security you're supposed to pay?

If your SS and Medicare were doubled they must have made a mistake. Let them know. Take in an old stub to show them what it's supposed to be.

dunno, usually it's about 11-17% for ur status: single and no dependents.

mine was less this month, but that was because there was one fewer payday in this pay period.

Fica is 6.2% of gross (before 401k deduction)
med care is 1.45 % ( ditto above)
sit, fit is per income table. It should be less than last year for similar pay assuming same exemptions
sdi. is I gotta look I'll edit.. .9%

go to irs.gov and look at sch e for the tax table for your situation. The system should be within pennies of this amount.
same for cal. cept go to their site.. (duh )
