First post-college paycheck..

[masshass81]

What is going on with state tax, SS, medicare? I'm sure I should have more deductions than this.. 😕 I have 1 allowance.

Taxes and Deductions:

FICA
FED WT
CA DIS

I'm not sure what these are exactly, but I think they're 2 Federal deductions and one CA disability deduction.. Where are the rest? I don't want to have to owe state tax at the end of the year..

FICA = Social Security
FED WT = probably Federal income tax withholding

Doesn't your company have HR?

 

[erub]

SS and Medicare are rolled together for FICA

The company I work for is only 14 strong. So our controller does all payroll.

I just want to know where state tax falls. I caught the tail end of the 10 day pay period which ended on Wednesdat. Since I started on the Mon 21st, I only got a check for the 21st-23rd (Mon-Wed). I'm not sure if they would make a difference.

Go here, www.paycheckcity.com and then to the paycheck calculator. Make sure you enter your state and various other variables. It's very accurate.

Thanks a lot. That site is completely accurate! I'm netting more than listed on the site, only because of California State tax though.

I really wonder why the State tax is not included in my deductions.. bah humbug, I guess I'll just wait until my full payperiod check and see what happens.
