Ensure that you choose the frequency that matches how often you receive your paycheck.

Step 3: Choose Your Filing Status

This selection affects your tax calculations, so be sure to select the correct status.

Step 4: Enter the Number of Withholding Allowances

Input the number of withholding allowances you claim on your W-4 form in the field labeled Withholding Allowances. The value must be between 0 and 99, inclusive.

Use these results to understand how much you will take home and how much will be withheld for taxes.
