∙ 14y ago
The Percentage Method subtracts from the total wage payment an allowance amount. The allowance amount is based on the value of one withholding allowance for the payroll period multiplied by the total withholding allowances from Form W-4.
For a weekly payroll period with two withholding allowances, the percentage computation figure is $140.38($70.19 x 2).
For a biweekly payroll period with 2 allowances, the percentage figure is $280.76 ($140.38 x 2).
The Percentage Method Amount for One Withholding Allowance Table gives withholding allowance figures for every payroll period (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually, daily).

What is a W-4 allowance form?
Form W-4 is Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. It's an IRS form that your employer gives you to complete, along with a Personal Allowances Worksheet. You keep the Personal Allowances Worksheet for your records, and you return the completed Form W-4 to your employer. The information on the W-4 guides the employer in withholding Social Security, Medicare, state/local/federal income taxes from your earnings.
What is the percentage of federal tax withheld on an annual income of 25000 dollars?
The amount of withholding is determined by the filing status and number of exemptions you listed on your most recent W-4 form that you completed for your employer. There is no flat percentage of income for withholding.
What is the name of the form that tells your employer how many allowances you wish to claim for withholding taxes?
You're probably talking about the W-4.
If you claim 1 on your taxes does that mean just yourself or one other person?
That depends on which form you are claiming it on. If you are talking about Form 1040, that means just yourself. If you are not eligible to claim yourself, then you are not eligible to claim anyone else either. If you are talking about Form W-4 (the withholding form that you give to your employer), stop and read the form more carefully. It does NOT ask you to fill in the number of people (dependents) you are claiming. It asks you to fill in the number of withholding allowances you are claiming. Most people have way too much tax taken out of their paychecks because they mistakenly believe that the number of withholding allowances they claim on their W-4 should be the same as the number of exemptions they claim on their 1040. Most people should claim MORE withholding allowances. To calculate the number of withholding allowances you should claim, either use the worksheet in the Form W-4 instructions or use the IRS withholding calculator here: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96196,00.html
If you choose exempt on your federal form w-4 can you enter a number of allowances also?

How do you determine how much to deduct from a paycheck?
How much federal tax is deducted is determined by how many withholding allowances you select on Form W-4. Ask your employer's HR or payroll department for a Form W-4, fill it out, and return it to them. How do you select the number of allowances? There are many calculators on the net that are designed to help you. The IRS has a calculator here: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96196,00.html Your state may have a similar form for state income taxes. After you choose the number of withholding allowances, you can see how much tax will be deducted from each paycheck by using the following calculator: http://www.paycheckcity.com/NetPayCalc/netpaycalculator.asp Do a "sanity check" on the amounts that are subtracted from your (and your spouse's if filing jointly) paychecks and make sure the amounts are roughly what you expect to owe in taxes at the end of the year. You should end up neither getting a refund nor owing the government more than $1000. If you are getting a refund, you can have a little less tax deducted by increasing the number of withholding allowances. If you are paying too much at the end of the year, you can have a little more tax deducted by decreasing the number of withholding allowances.
