1 week agoPayroll taxes are usually calculated by first determining the employee’s gross wages, then subtracting any pre-tax deductions, and applying the required federal, state, and local tax rates. You’ll also need to calculate employer-side taxes such as Social Security and Medicare. I usually recommend using current IRS and state tax tables or payroll software because rates and rules can change.
