    The net amount of salary paid for the period is $583,100

    Explanation:

    The computation of the net salary paid is shown below:

    = Total Payroll - Social security taxes - medicare taxes - federal income taxes - union dues

    where,

    Total payroll is $800,000

    Social security tax = (payroll - excess amount) * rate

    = ($800,000 - $150,000) * 6.2%

    = $40,300

    The tax rate is 12.4 % which is contributed by employers and employees.

    The half is borne by the employee and the other half is born by the employer

    Medicare expense = Payroll * tax rate

    = $800,000 * 1.45%

    = $11,600

    The other amounts would remain the same

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = $800,000 - $40,300 - $11,600 - $150,000 - $15,000

    = $583,100
