  • How it's built. Every rate here was reverse-engineered from your 6/5, 6/12, and 6/18 stubs and reconciles to the penny: Social Security 6.2%, Medicare 1.45%, Grand Rapids resident 1.5%, Michigan 4.25% (after a $113.65/wk exemption), and federal at your current 12% withholding bracket. Roth, taxes, and FICA all key off your true taxable wage base (gross + $0.12 group-term-life − pre-tax medical/dental/vision/HSA).
  • How overtime is figured. OT (1.5×) starts past 40 hours, and holiday hours count toward that 40 — so 8 holiday hours drop your straight-time ceiling to 32 before OT kicks in. PTO and sick don't count toward the 40; they're straight-time add-ons that sit outside the overtime math.
  • Fixed every week regardless of hours: medical $188.56, dental $26.62, vision $3.29 (pre-tax), plus $13.83 of post-tax insurance (LTD, life policies, accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity, TM assistance) and your $11.54 phone stipend.
  • Roth is yours. The 6% deferral leaves your check but lands in your retirement account — it's savings, not a cost. That's why the OT card shows it separately.
  • Rent, repair, and debt sit below net pay on purpose. They're slices of your already-taxed take-home, so changing them never touches your taxes — only what's "left to spend." The debt line is the weekly slice (×12÷52) of the monthly total you set on the Debts tab, and since all three are fixed, every extra dollar of OT cash flows straight into spendable money.
  • Where it stops being exact. Above roughly 70 total hours in one week your annualized wages would cross into the 22% federal bracket, so this would slightly overstate take-home on those extreme weeks. It estimates withholding, not your final tax bill. Employer match, ER HSA, and ER health costs are employer-paid and never part of take-home.
