Formula
Net Pay = Gross Pay − Federal Tax − State Tax − FICA − Pre-tax DeductionsFICA = Social Security (6.2%) + Medicare (1.45%) = 7.65% of gross
Federal Tax = progressive brackets applied to taxable income (gross minus pre-tax deductions)
Pre-tax Deductions = 401(k) contributions, health insurance premiums — reduce taxable income
