Worked Example

Let's calculate earnings for a baby sitter who worked 20 hours at $15 per hour in California (tax rate: 13.3%).

1. Gross Pay = 20 hours × $15/hour = $300
2. Taxes = $300 × 13.3% = $39.90
3. Net Pay = $300 - $39.90 = $260.10

Using the calculator with these inputs would show $300 gross pay, $39.90 in taxes, and $260.10 net pay.
