Tim worker estimates his taxable income will be $7000. He is paid twice a month or 24 times a year. Because Tim has only one source of income, he uses the tax tables to estimate how much will be deducted from his pay for withholding

Answer 1

Answer:

Tim pays $29.16 each time and per month he pays $58.32.

Tim's taxable income is $7000.

Tim's taxes will be = 0.1 * 7000 = $700

Now, as given, he pays twice a month. This means that he pays 24 times a year.

Therefore this is $\frac{700}{24}= 29.16$

Hence, Tim pays $29.16 each time or 29.16*2= $58.32 per month.
