How to Use the NC Payroll Calculator

This guide will walk you through the steps to effectively use the NC Payroll Calculator to determine various payroll-related deductions and net pay for employees in North Carolina.

Step 1: Enter Gross Pay

Gross Pay is the total amount earned by an employee before any deductions. Enter this amount into the Gross Pay input field. Make sure it is a positive number, as the system requires a minimum value of 0.

Step 2: Select Pay Frequency

Choose how often the employee is paid by selecting the appropriate Pay Frequency from the dropdown list. The available options are:

• Weekly (52 times a year)
• Bi-Weekly (26 times a year)
• Semi-Monthly (24 times a year)
• Monthly (12 times a year)

Step 3: Choose Filing Status

Select the Filing Status from the dropdown menu to indicate the employee’s tax situation. The choices are:

• Single
• Married
• Married Filing Separately

Step 4: Enter Number of Allowances

Enter the number of Allowances claimed by the employee in the corresponding field. The input must be a non-negative integer, starting from 0.

Step 5: Review and Interpret Result Fields

After inputting the required fields, the calculator will provide the following deductions and net pay:

• Federal Income Tax: Calculated based on gross pay, pay frequency, filing status, and allowances.
• NC State Tax: Automatically calculated as 5.25% of the gross pay.
• Social Security: Automatically calculated as 6.2% of the gross pay.
• Medicare: Automatically calculated as 1.45% of the gross pay.
• Total Deductions: Sum of federal tax, state tax, Social Security, and Medicare.
• Net Pay: The gross pay minus total deductions. This is the amount the employee receives after all deductions.

Ensure all inputs are correct to obtain accurate results for the deductions and net pay calculations.
