- Enter the base salary from the offer and add only cash bonuses or other earnings paid through that paycheck. Benefits and retirement elections can materially change taxable wages.
- The live example separates gross pay, federal withholding, Utah withholding, Social Security, Medicare and estimated take-home pay.

Assumptions: single Utah resident employee, one job, 2020-or-later W-4 with Steps 2–4 blank, 26 equal paychecks, no benefit deductions or additional withholding. Current Utah schedules are projected across the year. Each paycheck tax is rounded to cents; annual/monthly equivalents repeat that check and can differ from final tax-return liability or an employer's rounding.
What changes a engineer paycheck?
Enter the base salary from the offer and add only cash bonuses or other earnings paid through that paycheck. Benefits and retirement elections can materially change taxable wages.
Filing status, W-4 credits and adjustments, pre-tax benefits, retirement contributions and additional withholding can all change the deposit. Gross salary alone is not enough to reproduce a pay stub.
Using occupational wage data responsibly
