Answer 2

Federal, state, and county tax. Health insurance benefits, social security, any employee stock contributions or 401(K) you have enrolled in. If your company makes you pay for uniforms, that will be taken out. The amount depends on how many dependants you claim and the amount of money you make. If you are single and this is your first job, I would guess about 28% for taxes in addition to the healthcare benefits, uniforms, and stock contributions.
