Social Security is a payroll tax that generally applies to employee wages up to the annual wage base limit.

Medicare payroll tax generally applies to earned wages, and higher earners may be subject to additional Medicare withholding.

Health, dental, and vision premiums can reduce paycheck amounts depending on the plan and employer contribution.

Retirement contributions may affect taxable income and current take-home pay based on contribution type and amount.

FSA and HSA contributions can help set aside money for qualified expenses and may affect taxable wages.

Court-ordered garnishments or required payments may reduce take-home pay when they apply.

Life insurance, disability coverage, commuter benefits, and other voluntary elections can change net pay.
