What are Payroll Taxes?
Payroll taxes are subtracted from the employee’s gross pay by the employer to get their net pay. NJ payroll taxes are withheld from each paycheck as it is received each pay cycle.
Payroll taxes include Federal and State Income taxes, Social Security and Medicare taxes, and Unemployment taxes.
Federal and state income taxes are paid by the employee. They are calculated based on the employee’s W-4 form and their amount of pay based on a formula provided by the IRS and State Department of Revenue. Each State has their own formula. New Jersey does not follow Federal guidelines for how some deductions are taxed.
Social Security and Medicare taxes, are paid by both the employer and the employee. Federal and State Unemployment taxes are usually paid by the employer. New Jersey is one of three states where both the employer and the employee pay unemployment taxes. State unemployment tax rates vary by employer and are based on the number of unemployment claims. New businesses start with an average rate. The business moves to an experience based rate over time and rates are reviewed for change every year.
To calculate Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment taxes, the employer must know both the current tax rates and what the current wage threshold is. Once the wage threshold is exceeded then no more tax will be due. Tax rates and wage thresholds change every year.
Tax compliance is our highest priority.
