Gross pay is your total earnings before any deductions, while net pay is the amount you receive after all taxes and deductions have been subtracted.
You can adjust your tax withholding by completing a new Form W-4 and submitting it to your employer. This form allows you to specify the amount of tax you want withheld from each paycheck.
Pre-tax deductions are amounts taken out of your paycheck before taxes are calculated. Examples include contributions to a 401(k) retirement plan or health insurance premiums.
Overtime pay is typically calculated as 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
FICA tax is the combination of Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld from your paycheck. It funds these social insurance programs.
State income taxes are calculated based on the tax rates set by your state of residence. Not all states have an income tax, and the rates vary by state.
A 401(k) contribution is a portion of your paycheck that you elect to set aside for retirement savings. These contributions are often made on a pre-tax basis.
