What is Federal Withholding Allowance?

A Federal Withholding Allowance is an exemption that lowers the amount of income tax you must deduct from an employee's paycheck.

Given: The following are the deductible computation:

• For federal withholding allowance = 3:

1. Social Security Tax: 6.2% of $810 = $\frac{6.2\times810}{100}$ = $50.22
2. Medicare tax : 1.45% of $810 = $\frac{1.45\times810}{100}$ = $11.745
3. State tax: (21% of 3)% of $810= $\frac{21\times3 }{100} \times\frac{810}{100}$ = 0.63% of $810 = $\frac{0.63\times810}{100}$ = $5.103

Total = $67.068; deducted amount of his gross pay = $810 - $67.068 $742.932 (3 federal withholding).

• For Federal Withholding Allowance = 4:

1. State tax: (21% of 4)% of $810 = $(\frac{21\times4}{100}) \times\frac{810}{100}$ = 0.84% of $810 = $\frac{0.84\times810}{100}$ =  $6.8704

Thus, as we can see from the calculations, the State taxes increased from $5.103 to $6.8704. Hence, the net pay increases by $18.15 as the federal allowance increases from 3 to 4.
