How Vision Calculates Tax

To calculate an employee's North Carolina State tax, Vision does the following:

  1. Multiplies the employee's gross pay per pay period by the number of pay periods in a year to determine annualized gross wages.

  2. Subtracts the employee's standard deductions, allowance, and any 401(k) and 125/Cafeteria plan contributions from the employee's annualized gross wages to determine the taxable income.

  3. Calculates the net income tax by applying Tax Calculation Method 1 to the taxable income.

  4. 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.

  5. Rounds the final results of calculations to the nearest whole dollar.
