Withholding Formula (Effective Pay Period 13, 2017)
- Subtract the nontaxable biweekly Thrift Savings Plan contribution from the gross biweekly wages.
- Subtract the nontaxable biweekly Federal Health Benefits Plan payment(s) (includes dental and vision insurance program and flexible spending account - health care and dependent care deductions) from the amount computed in step 1.
- Add the taxable biweekly fringe benefits (i.e., taxable life insurance) to the amount computed in step 2 to obtain the adjusted gross biweekly wages.
- Multiply the adjusted gross biweekly wages by 26 to obtain the gross annual wages.
- Determine the exemption allowance by applying the following guideline and subtract this amount from the result of step 4 to compute the taxable income:
Exemption Allowance = $2,250 x Number of Exemptions Claimed on Form K-4
- Apply the taxable income computed in step 5 to the following table to determine the annual Kentucky tax withholding:
