9 10–9 © 2015 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning to Figure the Amount of Federal Income Tax Withholding, Using the Percentage Method (cont’d) 5.Multiply the amount from Step 4 by the appropriate percentage from the percentage method table. 6.If required, add the base tax amount (if any) shown next to the percentage from the percentage method table. (For example, see Table 1, WEEKLY Payroll Period, Married, the second line of the table: $34.90 plus 15% of excess over $512.) 2
