How can I figure out how much percentage of my paycheck goes to taxes?

Question

I just want to find out how to do the percentage and can't remember how. It's been several years since I was in school.

Answer 1

You take the gross amount; that the amount before taxes. Add up all of the taxes there were deducted from your check.
Now divide the total amount of the taxes in your gross amount, this will give you the percentage of taxes from that check.

Example: $500.00 gross amount of check
Total taxes that were deducted from this check $115

$115.00 ./. $500.00 = 23% taxes were deducted from this check.

Answer 2

1) Add up all your taxes.
2) Find your total paycheck on your stub.
3) Divide # from 1 by # from 2.
4) Move decimal two places to the right.
5) That is your % of your salary going to taxes.
