Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about payroll tax calculations
Not yet. Massachusetts calculations are coming soon, so this page can't estimate Massachusetts pay yet. The answers below explain how Massachusetts taxes wages.
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), Massachusetts income tax withholding (from your Massachusetts withholding certificate), any local taxes, and post-tax deductions. What's left is your take-home pay.
Yes. Massachusetts taxes wages, and employers withhold it from each paycheck based on the Massachusetts withholding certificate you give them.
Federal income tax (based on your W-4 and filing status), 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), and Massachusetts income tax, plus local taxes and state disability or paid-leave contributions where they apply.
