Some Definitions Total Earnings – the total amount of money

that we have learned. This is also called GROSS PAY. This is before taxes.

Regular Time – If you are working for $5.00 per hour then you take the number of hours and multiply it by the pay and that is what you get….

Definitions Overtime – is considered to be what you

make plus half of that, so if you are making $5.00 per hour then you would be making $7.50 an hour during overtime pay.

$5.00 + $2.50 = $7.50 per hour.

Section 2 Taxes Payroll taxes – are taxes that are based on

the payroll of the business. Payroll – is that amount of money that is

earned by its workers. Businesses are required to hold back a

certain amount of money from each of your paychecks and then pay that amount to the government.

Withholding taxes from your paycheck

W-4 is a from that when you get a job you fill this out that says how much in taxes do you want to hold back.

When you are in charge of and legally support a person we call them allowances.

The more the allowances the less taxes are taken from the paycheck.

Please look on pages 318 and 319 These are federal income tax withholding

charts. It is based first on being single/married, then on how much you make per pay period, and then on how many allowances you have.
