Same $3,230.77, three statuses
| Status | FIT | FICA | Net |

| Head of household | $306.15 | $247.16 | $2,677.46 |

| Married (one income, Step 2 off) | $279.54 | $247.16 | $2,704.07 |

What this is not
- A standard-deduction page. HOH 2026 standard deduction is a Form 1040 figure, not this stub.
- Proof you qualify for HOH. Pub 15-T uses the box you marked on Form W-4. Qualifying person rules live on the 1040 instructions.
- A 1040 effective-tax page. This is Pub 15-T on the stub. Married leftover at a higher salary: effective FIT on $180,000.
It is the federal-plus-FICA estimate for $3,230.77 biweekly, HOH, clean W-4. Benefits, 401(k), and state tax change the deposit.
The HOH table is wider in the 10% and 12% slices. $84,000 HOH just entered 22%. $84,000 single has been in 22% since $57,900.
No. Annual FIT stays $7,960. The four nets above all land near $69,614.
