Understanding Your Oregon Paycheck

How much your employer takes out of your paycheck for federal income taxes depends on things like your marital status, salary, and if you have any dependents. The IRS recently updated the W-4 form, which means you can no longer claim allowances or exemptions. The new W-4 has a five-step process to help you provide additional information, like extra income or other jobs.

In addition to federal income tax, your employer will also deduct Social Security and Medicare taxes, known as FICA taxes. Social Security tax is 6.2% of your wages, and Medicare tax is 1.45%. Your employer matches these amounts, so the total contribution is double what you pay. If you earn more than $200,000 (or $250,000 if married filing jointly) in a year, you'll also pay an extra 0.9% Medicare surtax.

If you're self-employed, you have to pay both the employer's and employee's share of Social Security and Medicare taxes. Look into possible deductions to help with this expense. You might want to work with a tax advisor to get help with filing and maximizing your deductions.

Other deductions that affect your paycheck include premiums for benefits like health or life insurance, as well as contributions to retirement plans or health savings accounts (HSAs). These contributions are taken from your paycheck before taxes are calculated, which lowers your taxable income and helps with your long-term financial planning.

How You Can Affect Your Oregon Paycheck

Taxes are a part of life, but you can influence how much is taken from your paycheck. One way to do this is by adjusting your tax withholdings. You can ask your employer to withhold an extra amount from your paychecks by filling out a new W-4 form.

For instance, if you want to withhold an additional $25 each month, you would write $25 in the section of the W-4 form that asks for additional withholding amounts. While this means you’ll take home a bit less each paycheck, it might help you avoid a big tax bill later.

Another option is to change how much you put into employer-sponsored retirement or medical expense accounts. These contributions are taken out before taxes, so they not only help you save for the future but also reduce your taxable income now.
