Step 1 of 3

a. FICA Tax Withholdings (employees portion) =  Gross Pay * 7.65%

                                                              ?? =  $53,000 * 7.65% =$4,054.50

Employee Contributions to Pension Plans = (Total Deductions - all other deductions)

                                                                    = $14,088 - $4.054.50 - $7,680 - $960

                                                                    =$1,393.50

Net Pay = Gross Pay - Total Deductions

              = $53,000 - $14,088 =$38,912
