Lindsey Vater’s weekly gross earnings for the week ended March 9 were $800, and her federal income tax withholding was $128.96. Assuming the social security tax rate is 6% and Medicare tax is 1.5% of all earnings, what is Lindsey’s net pay? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. $

$611.04.

Explanation:

Deduct the federal income tax withholding from the gross pay, we get

$800 - 128.96 = $671.04.

Then, we have to calculate FICA tax, FICA is calculated as

Social Security Tax + Medicare tax. Which is 0.06 + 0.015 = 0.075 = 7.5%

Then multiply the Gross Pay × (0.06 + 0.015) = $800 X 7.5% = $60.

Find the net pay by simply deducting the withholding tax and FICA tax from Gross pay.

Therefore, Linda's net pay = $671.04 - $60 = $611.04.
