Payroll: The total payment that a company is required to pay to its employee for the services received is called as payroll.
Payroll withholding deduction: The amounts which the employer withheld from employees’ gross pay to deduct taxes such as federal income tax, state income tax, local income tax, and social security tax are called payroll withholding deduction.
Payroll register: A schedule which is maintained by the company to record the earnings, earnings withholdings, and net pay of each employee is referred to as payroll register.
Working notes:
Calculate regular pay for C.
Regular pay = 40 hours ×$50 per hour=$2,000
Calculate overtime pay for C.
Overtime pay = (52 hours – 40 hours)×($50×1.5)= 12 hours×$75 per hour= $900
Calculate regular pay for J.
Regular pay = 36 hours ×$52 per hour=$1,872
Calculate regular pay for K.
Regular pay = 40 hours ×$58 per hour=$2,320
Calculate overtime pay for K.
Overtime pay = (45 hours – 40 hours)×($58×1.5)= 5 hours×$87 per hour= $435
Calculate regular pay for M.
Regular pay = 37 hours ×$45 per hour=$1,665
Calculate regular pay for S.
Regular pay = 40 hours ×$52 per hour=$2,080
Calculate overtime pay for S.
Overtime pay = (46 hours – 40 hours)×($52×1.5)= 6 hours×$78 per hour= $468
Calculate regular pay for W.
Regular pay = 40 hours ×$50 per hour=$2,000
Calculate overtime pay for W.
Overtime pay = (48 hours – 40 hours)×($50×1.5)= 8 hours×$75 per hour= $600
Calculate regular pay for Y.
Regular pay = 40 hours ×$54 per hour=$2,160
Calculate overtime pay for Y.
Overtime pay = (43 hours – 40 hours)×($54×1.5)= 3 hours×81 per hour= $243

- • For calculating the value of total earnings (column 5), add the amounts of column 3, and column 4 of respective employee as given below:
Total earnings = (Regular pay + Overtime pay)

Social security tax = 6% ×Total earnings
- • For calculating Medicare tax (column 7), multiply total earnings (column 5) by 1.5% of respective employee as given below:
Medicare tax = 1.5% ×Total earnings
- • For calculating the value of total deductions (column 10), add the amounts of column 6, column 7, column 8, and column 9 of respective employee as given below:
Total deductions = (Social security tax + Medicare tax + Federal income tax + Retirement savings)
- • For calculating the value of net pay(column 11), subtract total deductions (column 10) from total earnings (column 5) as given below:
