W-4 Extra Withholding

Hi

My wife and I were a bit surprised with the amount that we had to pay in taxes even after everything that was regularly deducted from our paychecks. I got a promotion close to the end of last year, so we anticipate even more for this year.

It seems we need to adjust our W-4s and fill out the Extra Withholding part, but how much?

How should I calculate the difference between the estimate total tax that we would owe and the total amount that is regularly deducted from each paycheck?

 

This is for 2023:

 

Adjusted Gross Income  $ 144,809.00 
Taxable Income.        $ 117,109.00 
Total Tax              $ 16,379.00 
Total Payments/Credits $ 10,098.00 
Payment Due            $ 6,281.00 
| Effective Tax Rate.  11.31%
