Each pay period is calculated separately. A dash means the current per-paycheck deductions exceed pay at that frequency. Annualized pay repeats the selected paycheck; actual yearly totals can differ near wage and contribution limits.

Assumptions and sources
- One employer; work and residence are in the selected state.
- Missing YTD wages are projected from the selected pay date and current pay pattern.
- Minnesota uses the 2026 computer formula with Form W-4MN allowances. The estimate follows the filing status selected unless no W-4MN is on file, which requires single with zero allowances.
- The default Paid Leave employee contribution is the maximum 0.44% of covered FICA wages up to the 2026 $185,000 program wage limit. An employer can pay some or all of the employee share.

How Minnesota payroll deductions work
The default assumes the maximum Paid Leave employee share. Without a Minnesota W-4MN, employers use single status with zero allowances. Federal income tax withholding follows IRS Publication 15-T. Social Security and Medicare follow federal payroll rules.
This example also includes Minnesota Paid Leave. The result lists each amount separately.
