Payroll deductions |
2009-03-29 |
|
From Jim:
I want to set up a spread sheet where i can enter my hourly pay or gross income,
and calculate my tax deductions. I have my old pay stubs but I am stuck when I
take the amount of the deduction and try to figure out the % used to calculate the amount
for example gross pay $1359, EI= $64, Fed Tax=$129, Prov tax = $35
these numbers I have provided are random but I think you can get the idea
