    Explanation:

    before week wages acc wages

    6440 805 7245

    As we are above the celling for SUTA and FUTA we will compare the before accumulated wages and the celling to know the tax amount.

    For medicare and SS we aren't above celling so we should calculate for the full wages.

    Medicare SS

    11.6725 49.91

    805 x 1.45% 805 x 6.2%

    SUTA FUTA

    16.24 3.36
