Real employer payroll withholding uses the IRS's specific automated payroll percentage-method tables (Publication 15-T), which can differ slightly from the annualized-bracket method used here. Your actual paycheck may vary by a small amount. This isn't tax advice โ€” talk to a tax professional for anything specific to your situation.
