Starting with the Tax Cut and Jobs Act in 2017, the IRS started revamping the withholding tables, which caught a lot of taxpayers off guard.
I would encourage you to give the TurboTax withholding calculator a look at this website. Note that there is an issue at the very end when you are given the opportunity to use the slider to adjust your withholding, so don't use that for the time being, but otherwise, your results will be correct.
You can also look at your prior year return for the total tax you owed (withholding plus any you had to pay on filing), and divide it by your total income to get an approximation of the percentage of income you pay in tax (it won't be the Tax Table amount because of deductions and other things). Then do a sanity check and make sure that the amount taken out of your paychecks during the year approximate this percentage. If the withholding doesn't seem right, you can always adjust your W-4 during the year.
