What percentage of wages is withheld in federal taxes?

Answer by  Kdm (180)

It depends on what your total wages are for the payperiod and what allowences you have on your W-4. If your income is in the 15% tax bracket then you will have 15% of 92. 35% of your wages for that payperiod(estimate). It roughly calculates out to be $140 per allowence.

The percentage of wages withheld for taxes depends on the W4 form status that you claim. Example - single with zero is much higher than married with four.
