Paycheck Deductions 1 


Bill: It’s about time! I’ve been waiting for my first paycheck and now it’s finally here. I’m ready to party this weekend! Whoa! 


Carol: What’s the matter? 


Bill: What happened to all my money? The amount of this check is a lot less than I expected it to be. 


Carol: Yeah, my first paycheck was an eye-opener for me, too. Look at the pay stub and you’ll see all of the deductions. After federal income taxes, state income taxes, and FICA, you’re not left with a lot of money. 


Bill: You’re right, but what’s FICA? 


Carol: Those are taxes for Social Security and Medicare. Did you sign up for a retirement 2 plan? If you did, those retirement contributions are deducted 3, too. 


Bill: Thank God, I didn’t. But you know what? That still doesn’t account for all of the deductions. 


Carol: Let me take a look. Oh, it looks like your wages are being garnished 4


Bill: They’re garnishing 5 my wages? What for? 


Carol: Uh, do you have to pay child support or something like that? 


Bill: Oh, yeah, I guess I do. I’d forgotten about that. I guess I’d better change my weekend plans. 


Carol: I guess so.
