Questions
Does Delaware tax wages?
Delaware taxes wages. Statutory estimate, not the employer wage table. The top rate used on this page is 6.6%.
Is this the amount an employer will withhold?
Federal withholding uses IRS Publication 15-T. The state line is an estimate of the statutory tax, not the state wage-bracket table, so the stub can differ.
What else is withheld?
Social Security is 6.2% up to $184,500. Medicare is 1.45%, plus 0.9% after $200,000 from one employer. Payroll programs we could verify are listed on the paycheck.
Does Delaware have local wage tax?
A local rate can be typed. It starts at 0% because city and county rates were not verified one by one.
Why might my pay stub differ?
Pre-tax benefits, year-to-date wages, and a different W-4 can change the result. Compare the line citations with the stub.
