You don't, it is done for you in box 3 - that is usually box 1 minus certain amounts in box 12 depending on the box 12 codes.

See w-2 instructions for box 3, page 17.

Are you attempting to use a paystub to prepare a tax return? If so, stop. Wait for your W-2 which will not match your paystub. Your employer should issue your W-2 by the end of January. Wait for it so you can enter your information correctly.
