Answer 2

Given:
weekly pay : 420 per week
social security tax rate : 7.65%
federal taxes : 22%
state taxes: 5.95%

All these tax rates are applied to the weekly earnings.

social security tax : 420 x 7.65% = 32.13
federal tax : 420 x 22% = 92.40
state tax : 420 x 5.95% = 24.99

420 - 32.13 - 92.40 - 24.99 = 270.48 take home pay.
