The withholding is right before you approve
Federal, state, and local — on every check
Payrollix calculates federal, state, and local withholding on each paycheck at the current rates, keeps the tables up to date for you, and shows both the employee and employer side so nothing is a surprise at deposit time.
What gets calculated on every run
The full stack of payroll taxes, current and traceable — not a best-guess estimate.
Federal withholding
Federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare — including the additional Medicare surtax — worked out on every check.
State income tax
Withholding for all 50 states, kept current as rates and brackets change through the year.
Local taxes
City, county, and school-district taxes where they apply — including the tricky ones like Pennsylvania Act 32 and Ohio municipalities.
Current-form W-4
Handles the 2020-and-later W-4 with its steps and extra-withholding fields, plus employees still on a legacy card.
Rates update themselves
Tax tables refresh in the background when agencies publish changes — you don’t reload anything.
Employer + employee side
Both halves of every tax are calculated, so the employer’s share and deposit liability are always clear.

Every tax, itemized on the check
What the engine calculates shows up plainly on the employee’s paystub — gross, each tax withheld, net, and year-to-date — so there’s nothing to reconcile by hand.
- Federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare, line by line
- State income tax withheld at the current rate
- Net pay and year-to-date totals kept in step
- The same figures that flow onto the W-2 at year end
