What is difference in withholding amount between Married , 0 and Married 1 personal allowance?

The more allowances an employee claims, the less is withheld for federal income tax. If you claim 0 allowances, more will be withheld from your check than if you claim 1.  The amount also depends on how often you get paid.

IRS Publication 15  -  (Circular E) Employer's Tax Guide contains tables to give you an idea of the amount withheld from your paycheck, depending on how much you make and how often you get paid.  Tables for married persons start on p. 50 of the booklet
