FORMULA METHOD
Employers having electronic systems are authorized to use the following formula to compute the
amount of withholding rather than use the withholding tables.
1. Multiply the Period Gross Pay by the number of pay periods per year to arrive at the annual gross
pay.
2. Subtract the Standard Deduction of $ 2,200 to arrive at Net Taxable Income. If Net Taxable Income
is below $88,001, look up the income at the $50 range (midrange of $100). For $88,001 and over,
use the exact dollar figure.
3. Compute the Annual Gross Tax on the Net Taxable Income using the bracket below and round that
result.

the total amount of Annual Personal Tax Credits allowed.

Net Tax that will be owed.
