Jeff pays $967 in state taxes per year. If he is paid semimonthly, how

much is withheld from his paycheck for state taxes each pay period?

He receives 24 paychecks.

957/24 = ?

To find out how much is withheld from Jeff's paycheck for state taxes each pay period, we can divide his annual state tax payment by the number of pay periods in a year.

Step 1: Determine the number of pay periods in a year.
Since Jeff is paid semimonthly, he receives 24 paychecks in a year (12 months * 2 pay periods per month).

Step 2: Divide the annual state tax payment by the number of pay periods.
$967 / 24 = $40.29 (rounded to two decimal places).

Therefore, approximately $40.29 is withheld from Jeff's paycheck for state taxes each pay period.

To determine how much is withheld from Jeff's paycheck for state taxes each pay period, we need to know the number of pay periods in a year.

To calculate the number of pay periods, we first need to determine the frequency of Jeff's pay schedule. Semimonthly means Jeff is paid twice a month.

There are typically 12 months in a year, so if Jeff is paid twice a month, he will have 12 * 2 = 24 pay periods in a year.

Now, to find out how much is withheld from Jeff's paycheck for state taxes each pay period, we divide the annual state taxes amount by the number of pay periods:

$967 / 24 = $40.29 (rounded to the nearest cent).

Therefore, $40.29 would be withheld from Jeff's paycheck for state taxes each pay period.
