Having a Gross Up Paycheck Issue

[S T]

Rather than give you my calcs because I can not make it work -- I am only going to give you the amounts and see if anyone would like to give me some answers

The Amount to be grossed up for Housing/commuting is $ 8,258.45

Fica is not an issue - as the t/p has already met the maximum amount

So the percentages to gross up are:

25.56% Federal Withholding
7.17% State Withholding
1.45% Medicare

For a total of 34.18%

Gross Amount: ??

Would someone please give me their answer?

thanks

Sandy

Gross= 12,547.
Fed = 3,207
State = 900
Med = 182

Net = 8,258

Put the pennies wherever you want.

Since you have the percentages You subtract them from 100. Then divide the net you want by that result.
100-38.38 (I added in the 4.2%) = 61.62
$ 8,258.45/61.62=$13402.22

Or leaving out the 4.2%
100 - 34.18 = 65.82

$ 8,258.45/65.82 = 12547.02 as already posted.

Same Conclusion

Many thanks to you,
I came to the same, but the taxpayer thinks there is something "not right"

so employer, me and you two all came to same conclusion

So not sure what the Taxpayer is looking at.

Thanks for your time and confirming
