This varies, depending upon a lot of factors. First of all, the number of dependents that you have plays a role. Also, your filing status and total anticipated annual income figure into it. Federal income taxes are graduated, meaning that people at different income levels pay a different percentage. Lastly, you state taxes, if any, will also vary by state.

it depends on the size of the check, where you live. Could be as little as zero or even 32 percent.
