One witholding allowance for weekly payroll is $79.80 for 2018.

Gross wages for June = $1,160

Gross wages upto June = $7,460 ($6,300 + $1,160)

One withholding allowance = $79.80

Taxable Income = $1,080.20

Tax bracket is $815 - $1,658 .

Federal Withhoding Tax = $85.62 + 22% of ($1080.20 - $815.00) = $143.96  

FICA Social Security = 6.2% of $1,160 = $71.92

FICA medicare = 1.45% of %1,,60 = $16.82

FUTA Tax = $0.6% of $700 = $4.20

SUTA tax = 2.3% of $1,160 = $26.68

Gross Pay $1,160.00 Federal Witholding $143.96 FICA - SS $71.92 FICA - Medicare $16.82 Net Pay $927.30
