                                                                         Wages as of Last Pay Period

King, M.      $135,200 (year)     40                  $132,600.00

Manera, E.     $6,500 (month)  40                  $76,500.00

Tate, S.          $3,900 (month)  48                  $45,900.00

Yee, L.            $12.50 (hour)     44.5               $27,675.13

Diaz, R.           $12.50 (hour)     48                  $14,778.96

Zagst, J.          $14.50 (hour)     52                  $24,703.02

(a) regular earnings,  

King, M. $135,200 / 52 weeks = $2,600    

Manera, E. $1,500 weekly salary    

Tate, S. $900      

Yee, L. $12.50 x 40 = $500        

Diaz, R. $12.50 x 40 = $500        

Zagst, J. $14.50 x 40 = $580

(b) overtime earnings,

King, M. $0    

Manera, E. $0  

Tate, S. [($900 / 40) x 8 x 1.5] = $270      

Yee, L. $12.50 x 4.5 x 1.5 = $84.38        

Diaz, R. $12.50 x 8 x 1.5 = $150                  

Zagst, J. $14.50 x 12 x 1.5 = $261

(c) total regular and overtime earnings,

King, M. $2,600    

Manera, E. $1,500  

Tate, S. $1,170      

Yee, L. $584.38        

Diaz, R. $650                  

Zagst, J. $841

(d) FICA taxable wages (the FICA taxes limit for 2020 is $137,700, so everyone will be taxed)

King, M. $2,600    

Manera, E. $1,500  

Tate, S. $1,170      

Yee, L. $584.38        

Diaz, R. $650                  

Zagst, J. $841

(e) FICA taxes to be withheld

King, M. $2,600 x 7.65% = $198.90    

Manera, E. $1,500 x 7.65% = $114.75      

Tate, S. $1,170 x 7.65% = $89.51          

Yee, L. $584.38 x 7.65% = $44.71            

Diaz, R. $650 x 7.65% = $49.73                      

Zagst, J. $841 x 7.65% = $64.34    

(f) net pay for the week ended

King, M. $2,600 - $198.90 = $2,401.10    

Manera, E. $1,500 - $114.75 = $1,385.25      

Tate, S. $1,170 - $89.51 = $1,080.49          

Yee, L. $584.38 - $44.71 = $539.67            

Diaz, R. $650 - $49.73 = $600.27                      

Zagst, J. $841 - $64.34 = $776.66
