    Start with gross pay

    Normalize annual, monthly, weekly, or hourly pay before tax assumptions.

  2. Step 2

    Estimate one paycheck

    Translate annual assumptions into a per-paycheck withholding estimate.

  3. Step 3

    Audit deductions

    Separate taxes, benefits, retirement, and other deductions.
