an employee receives an hourly rate of $27, with time and a half for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours. payroll data for the current week are as follows: hours worked, 46; federal income tax withheld, $350; social security tax, 6% on all earnings; and medicare tax, 1.5% on all earnings. what is the net pay for the employee?

Respuesta :

The net pay of the employee is $873.77

The net pay is the actual cash paid in the hands of the employees. The gross pay is the expense to the employer, but there are certain deductions to the gross pay like federal taxes, state taxes, social security taxes, etc. After deducting the taxes the net pay is computed.

Gross pay for the week = 40 hours * Hourly rate + Excess hour than 40 * Hourly rate * 1.5 times

Hourly rate = $27

Excess hour than 40 = 6 hours (46 hours - 40 hours),

Gross pay = 40 hours * $27 + 6 hours * $27 * 1.5

Gross pay = $1,323.

The social security tax is 6% to $106,800, where the employee's gross pat has not crossed $106,800 ($99,700 + $1,323 = $101,023). So, 6% will charge against $1,323.

Total deductions = Social security at 6% + Medicare at 1.5% + Federal tax

Total deductions = $1,323 * 6% + $1,323 * 1.5% + $350

Total deductions = $449.225

Net pay = Gross pay - deductions

Net pay = $1,323 - 449.225

Net pay = $873.775
