    OMG !! either look at your pay stub or sharpen your pencil

    if your pencil is dull, you could use a calculator.

    P S - being serious - Medicare is withheld on ALL wages earned, not just what the IRS calls "taxable" income (which is after deductions) - so you would need to refer to your pay stub. - an accountant.

    Source(s): People who cannot do simple math do not earn $140,000 a year (after tax, no less).

    $2030

    income (tax rate as a decimal) = total

    To change tax rate to a decimal you divide by 100

    (140000)(0.0145) = $2030
