Personal exemptions were removed from the tax code after tax year 2017 so are not on a W-4.

Go to this IRS website for a tax withholding estimator - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator

There are no allowances on a federal W-4 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf

Is this for a state income tax withholding? If so, what state?
