Ol' Tim will not be subject to income tax at that level. But he will pay social security, the rate is 7.65%.
Time may be eligible for other credits such as the earned income, making work pay, credit credit, etc.
We need a lot more info, but Tim should be withheld at this level.

Answer:

Tim pays $29.16 each time and per month he pays $58.32.

Explanation:

Tim's taxable income is $7000.

According to default tax table, people who earn under $10,000 has to pay 10% in taxes.

This means that:

Tim's taxes will be = 0.1 * 7000 = $700

Now, as given, he pays twice a month. This means that he pays 24 times a year.

Therefore this is
(700)/(24)= 29.16

Hence, Tim pays $29.16 each time or 29.16*2= $58.32 per month.
