Worked Example

Let's calculate the net pay for a single filer with a gross annual salary of $50,000.

1. Federal Tax: $6,250 (based on IRS 2023 brackets)
2. State Tax: $2,500 (average state tax rate)
3. Social Security: $3,125 (6.2% of $50,000)
4. Medicare: $725 (1.45% of $50,000)
5. Other Deductions: $1,000 (estimated)

Total Deductions: $12,600

Net Pay: $50,000 - $12,600 = $37,400
