Use the Tax Withholding Estimator on IRS. The Tax Withholding Estimator works for most employees by helping them determine whether they need to give their employer a new Form W-4. They can use their results from the estimator to help fill out the form and adjust their income tax withholding.
Form W-4 tells your employer how much tax to withhold from each paycheck. Learn more about how and when to adjust your W-4.
