Best Answer

It is the equivalent of $3500 in income (see the W-4 calculation sheet from the IRS). In terms of taxes, it is $3500 times your tax rate, for example: $3500 * 22% = $770

$3500 * 24% = $840 So, if you had to pay $800 on this year's taxes, you may want to reduce your deduction amount by 1 on your W-4, so that money is paid over the course of a year, via more money taken out of each paycheck. If you got a refund of $800 and you prefer to get that money in your paycheck over the course of the year, then increase your deductions by 1 on your W-4.
