How this is calculated
// Georgia taxable income = gross pay − pre-tax deductions − standard deduction
Georgia Tax = (Georgia taxable income) × 4.99%
Take-Home Pay = Gross Pay − Federal Withholding − Georgia Tax − FICA − Pre-tax Deductions
// Federal withholding uses the annualize → bracket → divide method (IRS Pub. 15-T).
// Additional Medicare uses a flat $200,000 threshold regardless of filing status —
// that's the real payroll withholding rule, not a simplification.
// 401(k) reduces federal/GA taxable wages only. Health/HSA/FSA reduce those AND FICA wages.
