Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about payroll tax calculations
Enter your hourly rate and the hours you work in a pay period, including overtime or other rates. The calculator adds them up to gross pay, then estimates federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Minnesota income tax to show your take-home pay.
Overtime is wages, so federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply to it like the rest of your pay. Most employers add it to your regular wages for the pay period and withhold on the total, so a period with a lot of overtime can have more withheld than usual; if your employer pays or lists overtime separately, it may withhold federal income tax on it at the flat supplemental rate instead. For tax years 2025 through 2028, part of qualified overtime pay (the premium above your regular rate) may be deductible on your federal return, within income limits. You can account for it in the Step 4(b) deductions field of Form W-4; this estimate reflects it only if you enter it there. State treatment may differ.
Start with gross pay for the pay period and subtract pre-tax deductions. Then subtract federal income tax withholding (from your W-4), Social Security (6.2% up to the annual wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on wages over $200,000 in a year), Minnesota income tax withholding (from your Minnesota withholding certificate), any local taxes, and post-tax deductions. What's left is your take-home pay.
Yes. Minnesota taxes wages, and employers withhold it from each paycheck based on the Minnesota withholding certificate you give them. The calculator estimates Minnesota withholding for the check date you enter.
Not necessarily. Results are estimates for planning purposes. The Tuxelo payroll engine looks up rates for the check date you enter, but your actual paycheck can differ because of employer-specific payroll settings, benefits, year-to-date wages, and local rules. Check important numbers with your employer or a tax professional.
