Find your federal bracket below. The brackets are graduated (calculate the amount for the percentage your income falls within the rate). Divide your total tax by the number of pay periods per year. Adjust your exemptions with your employer where appropriate:
| Tax Brackets and Rates, 2021 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 22% | $40,526 to $86,375 | $81,051 to $172,750 |
| 24% | $86,376 to $164,925 | $172,751 to $329,850 |
| 32% | $164,926 to $209,425 | $329,851 to $418,850 |
| 35% | $209,426 to $523,600 | $418,851 to $628,300 |
Exemptions were eliminated with the 2017 tax cuts. You will item or take the standard deduction to arrive at your adjusted gross income. You will get the child tax credit for your children if they qualify. You may also qualify for the dependent expense deduction.
