Overview

Gross wages and federal, Social Security and Medicare taxable wages may differ. A traditional retirement contribution can explain that difference.
Copy W-4 Step 3 annual credits and Step 4 annual adjustments into advanced options. Additional withholding is entered per paycheck.
For a particular high-income paycheck, enter this employer’s Social Security and Medicare wages already paid this year. The default estimate averages annual FICA.

Example

Reconciling a pay stub

For a biweekly employee, start with annual salary divided by 26 and deductions for that check. If withholding differs, compare taxable wages and W-4 settings before changing salary.

Assumptions

2020-or-later W-4; employee wages, not self-employment.
Current Utah schedules effective June 1, 2026; annualized allowance method.
No optional deductions or adjustments unless entered; default FICA is an annual average.
