Solve the problem using 6.2%, up to $128,400 for Social Security tax and using 1.45%, no wage limit, for Medicare tax.
What are the social security and Medicare withholdings for an executive whose annual gross earnings are $136,500?
Step 1
The amount of money withheld from the annual gross earnings is the product of the gross earnings and the tax rate expressed as a decimal. Even though the executive has annual gross earnings of $136,500, social security will only be taxed on a maximum of $128,400. The tax rate for social security is 6.2%.
Find the amount of money withheld due to social security.
social security withholdings = earnings subject to tax ✕ tax rate = ✕ 0.062 = $ Solve the problem using 6.2%, up to $128,400 for Social Security tax and using 1.45%, no wage limit, for Medicare tax.

Use the percentage method of income tax calculation to complete the payroll roster (in $).
David Grange is married and claims 4 withholding allowances. If he is paid biweekly and earns $1,847 per period, use the percentage method to find his income tax withholding each pay period. (Use Exhibit 9-1 and Exhibit 9-2 from your text.)
Step 1
The amount of income tax withheld from an employee’s paycheck is determined by his or her amount of gross earnings, marital status, and the number of withholding allowances claimed. The percentage method of calculating income tax withholding requires the use of two tables. The Percentage Method Amount for One Withholding Allowance table is given below. This table gives the dollar amount of one withholding allowance for various payroll periods.
Payroll Period One Withholding Allowance Weekly………………………….. $ 79.80 Biweekly………………………… 159.60 Semimonthly…………………… 172.90 Monthly…………………………. 345.80 Quarterly……………………….. 1,037.50 Semiannually…………………… 2,075.00 Annually………………………… 4,150.00 Daily or Miscellaneous (each day of the payroll period)………………………….. 16.00 The first step in finding the income tax withholding each pay period is to determine the withholding allowance. This is the product of the number of allowances and the amount of one withholding allowance, given in the table above.
The amount of one withholding allowance for a biweekly payroll period is $ . David claims 4 withholding allowances.
Find the total amount of withholding allowance.
total withholding allowance = number of allowances ✕ one withholding allowance = 4 ✕ = $ Use the percentage method of income tax calculation to complete the payroll roster (in $).
David Grange is married and claims 4 withholding allowances. If he is paid biweekly and earns $1,848 per period, use the percentage method to find his income tax withholding each pay period. (Use Exhibit 9-1 and Exhibit 9-2 from your text. Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Tutorial Exercise
A paving company has 24 employees, 15 with gross earnings of $335 per week and nine with gross earnings of $365 per week. What is the total social security and Medicare tax the company must send to the Internal Revenue Service for the first quarter of the year?
Step 1
Employers are required to match social security and Medicare tax payments made by employees. Social security and Medicare tax amounts depend on gross earnings, so the total gross weekly earnings for all employees must be calculated first.
There are 15 employees who receive $335 in gross earnings per week and nine who receive $365 each week. The gross earnings for a group of employees can be found by multiplying the number of employees and their respective gross earnings.
Find the gross earnings of the 15 employees who receive $335 each week.
gross weekly earnings = gross weekly earnings per employee ✕ number of employees = 335 ✕ = $ Find the gross earnings of the nine employees who receive $365 each week.
gross weekly earnings = gross weekly earnings per employee ✕ number of employees = 365 ✕ = $ The total gross weekly earnings will be the sum of the gross weekly earnings from employees earning $335 per week and the gross weekly earnings from employees earning $365 per week. Find this sum.
total gross weekly earnings = $

The SUTA rate for Thomson Temp Agency is 5.4% and its FUTA rate is 6% less the 5.4% SUTA credit.
If its semimonthly payroll is $130,320 and none was for payments to employees in excess of the $7,000 wage base, then what are the total FUTA and SUTA taxes for the payroll?
Step 1
The Federal Unemployment Tax Act, FUTA, is a federal tax that is paid by employers for each employee to provide unemployment compensation to workers who have lost their jobs. There is a similar tax at the state level, SUTA. Both taxes are paid by employers, not employees.
The Thomson Temp Agency has a semimonthly payroll of $130,320, and the SUTA tax rate is 5.4%. The amount of the SUTA tax will be found by multiplying the payroll by the tax rate expressed as a decimal. Find the SUTA tax amount.
SUTA tax = payroll ✕ tax rate = 130,320 ✕ = $ The FUTA tax rate is credited the 5.4% SUTA tax. Thus, this will be subtracted from the original FUTA tax of 6%. The tax rate for FUTA is therefore
6% − 5.4% = %.
Convert this percentage to a decimal and multiply by the payroll to find the amount of FUTA tax.
FUTA tax = payroll ✕ tax rate = 130,320 ✕ = $ An appliance company has three installers. Larry earns $395 per week, Curly earns $480 per week, and Moe earns $575 per week. The company’s SUTA rate is 5.4%, and the FUTA rate is 6.0% minus the SUTA. As usual, these taxes are paid on the first $7,000 of each employee’s earnings.
(a)
How much SUTA and FUTA tax (in $) does the company owe for the first quarter of the year?
total SUTA tax$ total FUTA tax$
(b)
How much SUTA and FUTA tax (in $) does the company owe for the second quarter of the year?
