Calculation Method
Employers calculate withholding using the cumulative annual method: total year-to-date earnings are projected to an annual amount, tax is calculated per brackets, credits are applied, and the result is divided by the number of pay periods. This ensures accurate withholding that matches the annual tax liability.
