Payroll is the sum of all compensation paid to each employee for their time worked, the two most common ways are by hourly or salary.

Payroll can differ from one pay period because of overtime, sick pay, vacation, or other variables. The payroll process includes tracking hours, calculating employees' pay, distribution of payments, and making sure that all taxes and fees are being deducted correctly.

What are payroll taxes deducted in the US?

Payroll taxes are used to fund Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment benefits. There are two central payroll taxes withheld from employee paychecks in the United States: the employee's portion of Social Security tax and the employer's portion of Social Security tax. The Social Security tax is 6.2 percent for the employee's pay and 6.2 percent for the employer, which adds 12.4 percent. The Medicare portion of the payroll tax is 1.45 percent for both the employee and the employer, adding up to 2.9 percent. In addition to these two significant payroll taxes, employers pay a federal unemployment tax (FUTA) based on how many employees they have.
