About this course
This hands-on course takes a payslip apart and rebuilds it in a spreadsheet, using a transparent fictional tax code. You calculate gross pay from salary, hourly hours, overtime and allowances, order pre-tax and after-tax deductions correctly and apply a social contribution with an annual cap month by month. You build the annualised withholding method for weekly, biweekly and monthly pay, compare flat and aggregate withholding on a bonus, track year-to-date totals through a mid-year raise, run the year-end true-up and finally adjust withholding so the year lands near zero.
