Limitations
Enter gross pay for one pay period, federal W-4 adjustments, and the state details shown above. Federal withholding follows Publication 15-T and FICA applies to current and year-to-date wages. South Dakota individual state income tax is zero. The state's reemployment assistance program is financed by employers through payroll taxes, so WageFrame does not turn that employer tax into an employee paycheck deduction.
Example: A South Dakota paycheck can still include federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, Additional Medicare Tax, and employer deductions even though state income-tax withholding is zero. The calculator does not assume any unentered benefit deduction or invent a tax result.
Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly are the supported paycheck frequencies. “Annual salary” is an earnings input and the annual view is a simple period multiplication; neither is an annual payroll-period method. The special Form W-4 adjustment for nonresident aliens is not modeled.
Does South Dakota have state paycheck tax? South Dakota does not impose an individual state income tax. Its reemployment assistance program is financed by employers through payroll taxes, so that employer tax is not deducted from an employee's take-home pay in this estimate.
