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 nurse paycheck?
Include taxable shift differentials, overtime and bonuses in the paycheck where they are paid. Benefit deductions 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.
