2013 FEDERAL WITHHOLDING TAX TABLES

Updated for use at and after Jan 04, 2013

NOTE

On Jan 3rd, 2013 the new Federal withholding tables (Greux US tables) were made available by the IRS. The Single and Married tables below reflect these changes. Although each line has changed somewhat, the taxes withheld will not noticeably change from last year until an employee hits approximately $400,000 a year (about $7,700 a week).

The Greux ZZ tables below are the same as for 2012, except that the employEE's Soc Sec withholding rate has INCREASED to 6.2% (rate= .062) which is back to the old rate that matches the employer's rate. Also the Social Security Wage limit has increased to $ 113,700, and the W/H allowance has increased to $ 3,900. These new rates will be in place as soon as you update your tax tables . You can expect approximately a 2% decrease in net wages, because of the expiration of the 2% decrease in the employee portion of Social Security withholding which was in effect for 2011 and 2012.

Be careful NOT to update your tables until after you have run your last payroll and have backed up your PR data that will be used for 2012 W-2s.

OBAMACARE NOTE

The tables below DO NOT reflect an additional .9% employee Medicare withholding for individual wages over $200,000. The employer does NOT match that amount. This could be accomplished by defining a new deduction if needed. The new requirement will be accomodated in future updates within a few months.

If the tax rates for your state have changed, let us know. We do not monitor all state withholdings rates. That is your responsibility as an employer. However if yours did change and we don't have the new rate, we will ask you to send us a copy of the state's computer formula (annualized). We will update the calculations and include in the master tables used above.

For Greux users this service is free, unless you require telephone assistance.
