How Vision Calculates Tax
To calculate an employee's Georgia State tax, Vision does the following:
- Multiplies the employee's gross pay per pay period by the number of pay periods in a year to determine annualized gross wages.
- Subtracts the employee's Standard Deduction, Personal and Dependent Allowances, 401(k) and 125/Cafeteria plan contributions from the employee's annualized gross wages for the pay period to determine taxable income.
- Calculates the net income tax, by applying Tax Calculation Method 1 to the taxable income.
- Divides the net income tax by the number of pay periods in a year to determine the amount to be withheld this pay period.
