Answer 1

To calculate Jen's mother's net pay for the period, we need to subtract the total withholding amounts from the gross pay.

1. **Gross Pay**: $2,031.26
2. **Total Withholdings**:
- Federal Income Tax: $187.99
- State Income Tax: $109.83
- FICA—Social Security: $97.42
- FICA—Medicare: $20.78
- Health Insurance: $0.00
- Dental: $0.00
- Vision: $0.00
- 401(k): $203.12

Now, we sum up all the withholding amounts:
- Total Withholding = $187.99 + $109.83 + $97.42 + $20.78 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $203.12
- Total Withholding = $619.14

Next, we calculate the net pay:
- **Net Pay** = Gross Pay - Total Withholding
- **Net Pay** = $2,031.26 - $619.14
- **Net Pay** = $1,412.12

Thus, Jen’s mother’s net pay for this period is **$1,412.12**.
