Usually the calculation of payments withheld from employee salaries is income tax, which is not only calculated from employee salaries but also bonuses, overtime wages and other income, while pension funds will be deducted from employee salaries according to what has been determined. Meanwhile, for labor insurance, there are some companies that pay the premium costs of workers, so they don't reduce employee salaries.
Typically, the following payments are withheld from an employee's paycheck:
- Federal and state income taxes
- Social Security and Medicare taxes (FICA taxes)
- Local taxes (if applicable)
- Health insurance premiums
- Retirement plan contributions
- Child support or wage garnishments (if court-ordered)
- Union dues (if the employee is a member of a union)
In Hong Kong, employee's contribution to the Mandatory Provident Fund is deducted from the paycheck. Mandatory Provident Fund is a savings scheme designed to provide retirement savings for employed and self-employed Hong Kong citizens.
There are deductions from home mutual. development fund, GSIS for government employee or SSS for private employees, Phil health contributions, taxes if taxable are just among those deducted. If their are unions or. cooperatives dues these are also deducted as long as there is a memorandum of agreement.
Taxes and pension funds are removed from the salaries of workers.
It's always indicated in my salary payment receipt the amount of tax I'm being charged on my pay every month. There's no way to evade it.
