The amount of pay per pay period Here is a breakdown of taxes NOT affected by your W-4: Social Security (6.2% of gross) and Medicare (1.45% of gross). You cannot get out of paying SS. If you want more money in your pocket and less sent to the government, increase the number of exemptions on your W-4. Just keep in mind that if you owe too much money come next tax filing, the IRS can fine you for underwithholding. And final reason is New Jersey is a very high tax state. Nearly all heavily Democratic and heavily unionized states are incredibly high tax. Payroll taxes are based on the following:
