I have my check stub an I filed 0 federal an 0 for Va state income tax an I'm single. My gross pay was 483.74 an my net pay was 404.07.Also they took 29.99 for social security tax an 7.02 for medicare tax I just wanted to know what's the pecent that is getting taken out?

The amount they took out for SS and Medicare is correct - the amount is 6.2% for SS, and 1.45% for Medicare. As for federal withholding - you need to tell us whether the $483.74 is weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly pay.

Bi-weekly

You can download Circular E from Internal Revenue Service to find out what withholding amount applies for the federal withheld income tax.

Go to the Virginia tax website to get the virginiawithholding table for the Virginia income tax.

For 0 allowances, single person, paid bi-weekly -- the formula for your wage bracket is:

(Gross wages - $289) x 0.15%

So:

(483.74-289.00) x .15 = $29.21.

For reference, the withholding chart is on page 32 of: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15a.pdf
