What are the standard payroll/paycheck deductions ? california?


are the standard deductions(social security,medicare,federal,ca,and dbl) and can any of these deductions be changed.

Social Security & Medicare are fixed percentages and can't be changed (although the social security withholding stops after you reach $97,500 for the year).

The state and federal income tax are withheld based on your w-4 withholding form. Less tax will be withheld if you claim more exemptions, but if you end up owing too much on April 15th, there will be penalties for under-withholding.

Federal and state income tax at various rates. Social Security at 6.2%, Medicare at 1.45% and California State Disability tax at .6%
