How Vantagepoint Calculates Tax
To calculate an employee's New Mexico State tax, Vantagepoint does the following:
- Multiplies the employee's gross pay per pay period by the number of pay periods in a year to determine annualized gross wages.
- Subtracts the employee's Allowance, 401(k) and 125/Cafeteria Plan contributions from the employee's annualized gross wages to determine taxable income.
- Calculates the computed income tax by applying Tax Calculation Method 1 to the taxable income.
- Divides the net income tax by the number of pay periods in a year to determine the amount to be withheld for the pay period.
