    Yves St Jones would be payed $2,214.45

    Kim Johnson would be payed $3,729.60

    Michael Hale would be payed $3,480.96

    Explanation:

    Tax rate = Bonus + Social Security + Medicare Tax

    = 28.00% + 6.20% + 1.45%

    Total Tax rate = 35.65%

    Net pay ratio = 100% - Tax rate

    = 100% - (28 + 6.2 + 1.45) % = 64.35%

    Gross pay = Net pay : Net pay ratio

    Employee Regular pay per period Net Pay ratio Gross pay

    Yves St Jones $1,425 64.35% $2,214.45

    Kim Johnson $2,400 64.35% $3,729.60

    Michael Hale $2,240 64.35% $3,480.96
