W4 help

I recently started a second job this year. My wife and I each have one main job, so we are married filling jointly with a total of 3 jobs. I filled out the w4 form using the tables to determine how much should be taken out of our checks. The amount I got was 386$?  What do I do with this number. Is this the total that I should be taking out of all 3 jobs or just the highest paying job? Should the lowest paying job, my second job, even have taxes taken out? Thanks in advance  for your help

If you're using the table to complete the "Multiple Jobs Worksheet", then the amount you arive at on line four in Step 2(b) of the Multiple Jobs Worksheet is the number you will put in Step 4(c) of the main W-4 form.  This is additional withholding.  Most people enter it on the W-4 form for the highest paying job, but you can also break the total amount up between multiple jobs W-4s.
