Answer: 1365 dollars
=========================================================
Explanation:
The person makes $42,000
They're taxed at a rate of 22%, so 0.22*(42,000) = 9,240 dollars is paid in annual tax. So they get to take home 42,000 - 9,240 = 32,760
Put another way, they must pay 22% of their yearly earnings, so they keep 100% - 22% = 78% of their money. Then note how
78% of 42,000 = 0.78*(42,000) = 32,760
So there are two ways to arrive at the same figure of $32,760 which is the annual salary after taxes.
We'll divide this over 24 because there are 12 months in a year, and the person is paid twice a month, so over the full year they are paid 12*2 = 24 times.
So each paycheck after tax is (32,760)/24 = 1365 dollars
-----------------------------
If you want, you can divide the original value by 24 first, then apply the tax later.
(42,000)/24 = 1750 dollars per paycheck before tax
0.78*1750 = 1365 dollars per paycheck after tax
