    100 -(7.36 / 8.97 * 100) = 17.95%

    8.97*35.3 = 316.641

    7.36*35.3 = 259.808

    100 - (259.808 / 316.641 * 100) = 17.95%

    I you work 35.3 hours and your check is 260.06, then the net wage is 260.06/35.3 = 7.367, not 7.36, then the decrease is (8.97-7.367) = 1.603 so the decrease in percentage is 1.603/8.97 = 17.87%.

    Your gross check would have been 8.97*35.30 = 316.64 so the tax bite is (316.64-260.06) = 56.58 or 56.58/316.64 = the same 17.87%.

    answer: 17.87%

    Without taxes = 8.97 x 35.3 = 316.64

    With taxes = 260.06

    So taxes took (316.64-260.06) of 316.64

    Which is (56.58)/(316.64) = .1786 which is 18%

    8.97-7.36=1.61

    1.61/8.97=.179=18%
