To be more specific in the question. Social Security tax, Medicare tax, and State tax are all constant every paycheck. 1%, 3%, and 6%. Federal Tax has changed every paycheck from 8%-26%. 2 paychecks I received were for the same amount and because of the different federal tax in both checks they came out to be different amounts on the actual check.

So the question is why does the federal tax change and the other taxes don't?
