2011 Withholding Analysis

LFC has done an analysis on the impact on paychecks if the 2001 & 2003 tax laws expire as they are slated to do on 12/31/10.  The analysis is on 2011  paychecks and what will happen with tax withholdings.  The federal tax rates will increase significantly in 2011 and  they will be felt in employees' take-home pay with the first payroll in January.

The analyis takes 3 scenarios (salaries of $100k, $75k, and $50k) and lays out how the individual paychecks  are affected based on the tax tables of 2000 & 2001 (one of these tables would be in affect in 2011).  The results can be found here.
