What percent do they take out of a paycheck?

I am fourteen and about to get a job in New York. Does anyone know how much they take out of your paycheck for taxes?

Answer:
The big answer is, it varies by income bracket, dependents, & how you fill out your W-4 form.. but I'm guessing you don't have any kids so figure about 25%.
About a third (33%). Usually less, depending on how you fill out your W-4 form.
On an old check I found, I made $219 and $28.98 was for taxes, medicare and social security so probably like a little less than 13.24% is taken out.

I was working minimum wage so that's probably what you'll make.
Depends on how many you're claiming and such.
It depends on how much you earn. I would assume that at your age, you aren't making much over minimum and have no dependents. I would guesstimate around 20% for your income tax, and then factor in about 10% more for SSI and Medicare deductions.
It varies by state and how much you work but your can safely figure 20% will be taken out for taxes, FICA, Medicaid.
Also be aware that when you sign up for your benefits with your employer can greatly reduce you take home. Hopefully if you are only 14 your benefits will be covered by your parents.
it does vary, but in nyc you also have to pay local taxes in addition to state and federal. when you fill out your w-4 you can claim exempt if you are a full-time student and don't think you'll be making more than around $6,000 in a calendar year. you can't avoid paying social security and medicare taxes.
