You can use TurboTax has a W-4 Withholding Calculator; it can help you decide how many allowances you should claim.

The IRS also has a W4 Withholding Calculator

The more allowances you claim, the less taxes you have taken out of your paycheck.  Less allowances mean more taxes taken out of your paycheck. That factors into the amount of money you take home with each paycheck.
