Consultant $2,310 per week N/A 3
Computer programmer $30 per hour 1.5 2
Administrator $46 per hour 2 1
computer programmer worked 60 hours = ($30 x 40) + ($30 x 20 x 1.5) = $2,100
administrator worked 50 hours = ($46 x 40) + ($46 x 10 x 2) = $2,760
Social security taxes:
- Consultant = 6% x $2,310 = $138.60

- Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $2,100 - (2 x $70) = $1,960. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($1,960 - $1,796) = $402.82
- Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,760 - $70 = $2,690. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,690 - $1,796) = $607.22
