Explanation:

We multiply the wages subjet to taxation by each rate:

social security:

320,000 x 7.5% = 24,000

SUTA

40,000 x 5.4% = 2,160

FICA

40,000 x 0.6% =    240

For this three concepts, the employee will have liability for the same amount for payroll taxes

Income tax 75,200

net wages: 320,000 - 24,000 - 2,160 - 240 - 75,200 = 218,400
