This query has come from one of our readers. Any help will be greatly appreciated:

Quote:
Concerning payroll checks and state and fed taxes in Virginia. Which comes first in the deductions, state or federal? And does both amounts deduct from the total earned or after the first dedusted amount?

The US payroll calculation is not my area of expertise, and I hope that some US visitors may be able to give you more information. I understand the priorities to be:

1: federal tax withholding - % of taxable pay
2: state tax withholding - as state rules
3: social security tax - % of taxable pay
4: medicare tax - % of taxable pay
5: any local tax

I learned a lot from the following links:

Also, one of the tools that we link to in PayPerShop is a payroll calculator. You could try out some calculations here to see how it works:
