Answer 1

The gross earnings weekly of employee = $1,237

First find the corresponding table (Exhibit 9-3 or 9-4) based on the employee’s marital status and period of payment.

Since employee is married and period of payment is weekly, therefore table is Exhibit 9-3

Now, to find the employee’s weekly income tax withholding, choose the table for Married Persons – Weekly Payroll period, Exhibit 9-3.

The intersection of both the earnings and corresponding column of withholding allowances claimed gives the combined tax that should be withheld.

The combined withholding for 3 withholding allowances at gross earnings $1,237 is $178.36.
