California uses a graduated income tax, so the withholding rate increases across several brackets as pay rises.
California paystubs also account for California SDI, deducted automatically alongside federal and state withholding.

- Federal withholding calculated with the current IRS Pub 15-T percentage method
- Social Security and Medicare (FICA) calculated automatically, including the Additional Medicare Tax above $200,000
