Amounts are in $

1. Gross Earnings per period (biweekly) = 25,000/26 biweeks per year

= 961.54 per biweek

Forsa earnings this week = (961.54/40 hrs) x 45 = 1,081.73

2. Social security tax = 6.2% of Gross earnings

= 6.2% x 1,081.73

= 67.07

3. Medicare taxes = 1.45% of Gross earnings

= 1.45% x 1,081.73

= 15.69

4. Federal Withholding of tax (using wage bracket method)

= 85

Since the year is not given, it is taken as 2019 (1 withholding allowance will give 85, for income of 1,081.73 biweekly)

(This will change if we take the year as 2020 as the rates changed)

5. 401(k) contribution = 3% of Gross earnings

= 3% x 1,081.73

= 32.45

6. Garnishment @10% = 10% ( 1,081.73 -(67.07+15.69+85+32.45) )

= 88.15

7. Net pay = 1,081.73 - 67.07 - 15.69 - 85 - 32.45 - 88.15

= 793.37

Note : Since nothing is given about state withholding tax. It is taken as 0% (as in some states there is no state income withholding tax)
