W-4 WITHHOLDING CALCULATOR

It is important that your tax withholding match your tax liability. Your tax liability is the amount of money that you owe to the government in federal taxes, taking into account any tax credits for dependents, mortgages, or charity. If your withholding doesn’t take these into account, you could be having too much withheld from your paycheck. This means you will not be able to access money that is rightfully yours until you receive your tax refund. Alternatively, if not enough tax is withheld from your paycheck, you will owe tax at the end of the year and may have to pay interest and a penalty.

Always check your withholding with this tool if there are personal or financial changes in your life that might change your tax liability, for example new employment or a promotion changing income amount, or new family members altering the number of dependents you claim. For a recommendation on your withholding, please complete the information below.
