What are the Federal and State Income Tax rates/slabs for the State of New Jersey?

April 26th, 2010

I recently got my paycheck and there were a lot of tax deductions. Being on my OPT i dont have the Social Security or Medicare tax cut. But my Federal and State Income(NJ) tax deductions were huge. Please could anybody guide me so that I may be able to plan my finances accordingly.

Thanks to "laura" who help me in this. But I am sorry to say i am not able to figure out the exact amount. So here are the deductions i got in my paycheck.

Earnings per month : $ 4928
Federal Income (deduction) : $ 739.20
NJ State Income (deduction): $ 197.12

Please tell me if these deductions are correct.

This is for the state of New Jersey.

Thanks.

    The best advice for you is to drop into a tax preparation office with your pay stub. I know H&R Block will do the calculations for you, to help you "so that I may be able to plan my finances accordingly."

    There are too many unknowns for me to calculate…
    -# of pay periods…
    -std deductions or Sch. A?
    -# of dependants?
    -Married…?

    Good luck
