Withholding Formula >(New Jersey Effective 2016)<
  1. Subtract the nontaxable biweekly non-Federal 401(k) contribution from the gross biweekly wages to obtain the adjusted gross biweekly wages. Note: Do not subtract the biweekly Federal Thrift Savings Plan contribution.

  2. Multiply the adjusted gross biweekly wages computed in step 1 by 26 to obtain the annual wages.

  3. Determine the exemption allowance by applying the following guideline and subtract this amount from the annual wages to compute the taxable income.
  4. Exemption Allowance = $1,000 x Number of Exemptions

  5. Apply the taxable income computed in step 3 to the following table to determine the annual New Jersey tax withholding.
