Susan Clarke · Answer 1

Francis net pay: 1,349.62 dollars

Explanation:

50,000 dollars per year

we divide over 24 payment per year: 2,083.33

we calculate the deductions

6.20% social security = 129.16

1.45% medicare = 30.21

3% 401 (k) = $ 62.50

section 125 plan $ 25.00

advance repayment $ 375.00

750 / 2 = 375

taxable income: 2,083.33 - 62.5 - 25 = 1,995.83

Federal income tax: 1.6% $ 32.00

State Income tax: 4% $ 79.83

Net pay: 1995.83 - 32 - 79.83 - 129.16 - 30.21 - 375 = 1,349.62
