Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about payroll tax calculations
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), any local taxes, and post-tax deductions. Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, so no state income tax is withheld. What's left is your take-home pay.
No. Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, so no state income tax is withheld from your paycheck. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply.
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 local taxes and state payroll contributions (such as paid-leave or unemployment premiums) where they apply; there's no Tennessee state income tax on wages.
Give your employer a new Form W-4 for federal withholding. You can try a change here first: update the W-4 fields and click Calculate to compare.
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.
