The net amount of salary paid for the period is $583,100

Explanation:

The computation of the net salary paid is shown below:

= Total Payroll - Social security taxes - medicare taxes - federal income taxes - union dues

where,

Total payroll is $800,000

Social security tax = (payroll - excess amount) * rate

= ($800,000 - $150,000) * 6.2%

= $40,300

The tax rate is 12.4 % which is contributed by employers and employees.

The half is borne by the employee and the other half is born by the employer

Medicare expense = Payroll * tax rate

= $800,000 * 1.45%

= $11,600

The other amounts would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $800,000 - $40,300 - $11,600 - $150,000 - $15,000

= $583,100
