All names and figures are fictional. Federal withholding follows the 2026 IRS Pub. 15-T percentage method (standard withholding, Form W-4 2020 or later, Step 2 not checked). Social Security, Medicare, FUTA and the wage bases are 2026 figures. State income tax (flat 5%) and SUTA (2.7% on the first $7,000) are illustrative examples. Wage-base caps are applied within this pay run; W-2 and W-3 figures annualise this run across 26 periods. Do not use to run real payroll.
