To calculate Jen's mother's net pay for the pay period, you can start with the gross pay and subtract all the deductions. Here is the breakdown:

  1. Gross Pay: This is not explicitly stated in the stub provided, but we can assume it is equal to the specified year-to-date gross pay since there's no other gross pay mentioned. Therefore:
    Gross Pay = $2,031.26

  2. Deductions:

    • 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, let's total the deductions:

  • Total Deductions = $187.99 + $109.83 + $97.42 + $20.78 + $0.00 + $0.00 + $0.00 + $203.12
    = $619.14
  1. Net Pay Calculation:
    Net Pay = Gross Pay - Total Deductions
    Net Pay = $2,031.26 - $619.14
    Net Pay = $1,412.12

Therefore, Jen's mother's net pay for this period is $1,412.12.
