It depends what state you live in. I like in New York and honestly, I don't even know what my tax is I think it's like 8%. I don't want to sound stupid, but I really don't know what it is. hahah

But for your state, just do this

$285.00
times (x) your tax in a decimal
so if my tax is 8%, I would multiply it by .08

then the total is $22.80


So that is the amount of tax. To figure out the total I would just add $285 to $22.80


Ahhh, sorry if this was confusing!

That depends on what state you are in. The sales tax (I assume that is what you mean) is 6% here in CT. The tax on 285.00 would be $17.10 in CT.
Here is a hint to help you figure it out in your head. What is 10% of $285.00 that's easy.
$28.50, what is 5%, half of $28.50 so it would be $14.25. So maybe your state's sales tax is somewhere inbetween.

Now if you mean Payroll taxes....like how much payroll tax would come out of your paycheck if you earned $285.00. Well Social Security and Medicare tax is the same for everyone inthe USA, 7.20% So that would be $20.52. I assume you are single, and would claim S-0 or S-1 on your W-4 form, so the Federal Income Tax that would be withheld each week from $285.00 would be $28. to $18.00 . That is IN ADDITIION to the $20.52.
Now I don't know what state you are in, but many states also charge income tax.
Basically, after taxes, you'll take home about $225.00.

Hope this helps.
