1. figure out your filing status
2. work out your adjusted gross income [Total annual income – Adjustments = Adjusted gross income]
3. calculate your taxable income [Adjusted gross income – (Post-tax deductions + Exemptions) = Taxable income]
4. understand your tax liability [Taxable income × Tax rate = Tax liability]
5. minus any additional tax withholdings [Total annual income – (Tax liability + All deductions + Withholdings) = Your annual paycheck]
