Gross earnings for 2 weeks = $580 ($7.25 x 40 x 2)

FICA (7.65%)                             $44.37 ($580 x 7.65%)

Federal withholding (12%)       $69.60 ($580 x 12%)

State withholding (8.75%)       $50.75 ($580 x 8.75%)

Total of FICA and withholding = $164.72

October 23 Net earnings for  2 weeks = $415.28 ($580 - $164.72)
