Monthly and biweekly figures differ slightly because the number of pay periods changes how withholding is spread across the year. Above $184,500.00 a paycheck also stops being the same all year: once your earnings pass that point, Social Security is no longer withheld, so your later paychecks are larger than the biweekly figure shown here. The yearly column accounts for that, which is why it is not simply the biweekly figure multiplied by 26.

Why the rate climbs as salary rises

The effective rate in the last column goes up with salary, from 15.8% at $30,000.00 to 26.6% at $200,000.00. Two things drive that.

Why is my take-home pay lower than this?
