Automatically Calculated Variables

Vision automatically computes the following variables.

Standard Deduction

The Standard Deduction (annualized exclusion) is a table-based deduction applied to all employees. The amount of the deduction depends on the employee’s filing status as follows:

Status	Deduction
Single	$5,000
Married	$5,500

Allowance

The Allowance is based on the number of exemptions in the first Exemptions field. It is determined by multiplying the number of exemptions by $1,000.

How Vision Calculates Tax

To calculate an employee's New York City 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 Deduction, Allowance, and any 401(k) and 125/Cafeteria plan contributions from the employee's annualized gross wages to determine 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.
