    Tax deductions from pay check
    Hi,
    My name is Aniruddha kulkarni. I am a F1 student working as a full time
    Associate on my CPT. I know for tax purposes I am considered as a non-resident alien.

    My emlpoyer makes the following deductions from my bi-weekly pay check:

    1. Fed Tax

    2. CA state income tax

    3. CA SUI/SDI tax

    I want to know whether these are correctly being deducted and also what is the
    % rate of salary that each of the above are based on. I mean what % of my gross
    Bi-weekly salary should be Fed tax, State Tax and the SDI tax?

    ( Might help to know my gross bi-weekly salary is $2269.28)

    Any help will be appreciated.

    -AK

    The percentage of your gross is dependent on your tax bracket. The taxes are taken out of your Gross salary, so a percentage of the $2269.28.

    As an example, with no knowledge of your tax filing status, your yearly salary would require about $2800 in CA Income Tax as an individual with no dependents. $2800 divided by 26 pay periods = $107.69 for CA Income Tax per pay period. Federal Income Tax would be about $8766. Divide that by 26 pay periods = $337.15. [1]

    SUI/SDI are at about 1.1% up to a maximum amount, but should be about $40 for you. [2]

    *Note: All of the calculations above are based on 2012 and 2010 tax rates and are only estimates. Consult with an Accountant or Payroll Specialist for more accurate information.
