What these numbers leave out

• State and local income taxes.
• Money taken out before tax, such as 401(k) contributions and health insurance premiums.
• Tax credits and any deductions beyond the standard deduction.
• Overtime, tips, bonuses and shift pay. Every hour is counted at $45.
• Other income on the same tax return, including a spouse's pay.

Your actual paycheck depends on the Form W‑4 you gave your employer, so the amount withheld can differ from the tax you end up owing for the year.
