Claiming someone as a dependent is not relevant when completing a W-4.  The W-4 that you give to your employer is for the amount of taxes that will be withheld from your wages.

Use this TurboTax W-4 calculator - https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/w4/

Note - When you are married you should be filing your tax return as Married Filing Jointly.  A spouse cannot claim you as a dependent.  If you have children and filing as MFJ, then both of you are claiming them as dependents when you file your tax return.
