 So we're just going to go in, we've set up the payroll, the payroll set up. We've added our employees. We've got our two employees. We set up to be paying payroll on a monthly basis as opposed to weekly, semi-monthly and so on. And so now we'll just go up here and process the payroll. So I'm just going to run the payroll and hope that they'll allow me to run it, even though I'm not in the real time here. So I'm going to hit the drop down. This period by period has been set up when we set up the payroll. So that the next period that we would run would be 2023. So February, February 2023, there's the pay range, the period, because we have a monthly period. So it's the full month. The pay date happens to be the same day as the end of the period, which may not always be the case. You might have a pay date that's a little bit after the end of the period. So you have a little bit of time to process the payroll after the pay period, but we're going to keep the same date here to keep it in that second month that we're working on. And then if everything was laid out properly, you might be able to just process from here, but we need to go in and make some adjustments because of the practice problem. And so I'm going to go into Hamilton and actually that's going into his information stuff. I'm going to close that. I'm going to go into the pencil on the right hand side so I can see the calculation this way. So we've got the summary of the information. We've got the pay. He's a salaried employee. So this is the salaried amount. I'm going to pull out the trusty calculator here for some trusty calculations. Where's the calculator? It's not in the recent area. I've been using it all the time. So we're going to say this is going to be, I think it was 55,000 divided by 12. That's where the 458,355,000 a year. And then if I go into the employees, this federal income tax is one of the most confusing ones. We would populate it from tables and whatnot and the information that was populated in the W four. But that's one of the things you're paying for, for QuickBooks, because it's not a flat tax. So that's one of the confusing ones to calculate. So I'm going to make a number up that matches our practice problem that's not coming from the W four. I just wanted to match the numbers in our practice problems. So it'll tie out to our bank reconciliations. Now the Social Security and Medicare should be easier because that's just going to be the 458,333 times 0.062. I think is currently the calculation. So that's a nice, easy one to do because it basically is a flat tax, although there is a cap. So if they get above the wage cap, this number will change. It'll be lower and that's what I mean about the payroll possibly being different from period to period as you go through the year. And then we've got the Medicare. We've got the 458,333 times 0.0145. That gives us the 6646 about I'm not going to do any California tax because I want to make it kind of like a generic problem on the payroll side. And then you've got the employer taxes, which are matching Social Security and Medicare. So and there would also be the federal unemployment tax, which I didn't add because that's a much smaller tax. And again, I want to keep it kind of generic for our practice problem. So up top then, if we think about this, we've got this would be what they earned. This is what we're taking out of their earnings. These are in essence, the mandatory withholdings for federal taxes. You could also have mandatory withholdings for your state and local taxes, as for example, California might be, but that would be changing from place to place. You can also have voluntary withholdings, which might include things like health insurance 401k and that kind of stuff. We have a whole course that goes into at least setting that up and more detail if you want to if you want to dive into that and more detail. It's a whole thing in and of itself. And then down here, we've got the employer taxes, which are matching the Social Security. So what's going to be the transaction for this one employee? As I go through it, remember that you can think about the financial transactions, what's going to happen to the financial statements on an employee by employee basis? Or as though all employees were kind of like one employee. So if I was doing my payroll from a third party provider and entering them into my system, I might think of all the transactions as one one big employee, right? And into a journal entry or something like that into the system, although I still need to reconcile the bank's accounts. But that's the way that that's the way that you can think of it. If you're doing this stuff internally, you can't it's useful to think of it as one big employee. What's the impact on the financials? But you also need all this added detail so that you can provide what you need to the employees on the pay stubs and on the reports, the 941s, the 940 and W2s and W3s. That's why it gets gets messy. So that means this is going to be a debit or an increase to the payroll expense. And then all of this stuff is going to be decreasing or increasing a liability for the liability account and the difference between the two four five eight three point three three point three three minus the one oh five oh point six two. That's what's going to be decreasing the cash account. And then down here, this is going to be increasing the the expense account for payroll expense payroll tax expense and the other side is going to be increasing a liability account and then we'll have to pay off the liabilities in the future. OK, let's save that. Let's just does that make sense? I think everything is proper. OK, so let's close that up and let's do this for Erica. Let's check out Erica. I mean, I'm checking out her wages, her wages. I don't sick the HR department on me. I am the HR department. We're payroll over here. I'm just looking at Erica's wages. So we're going to say Erica. Let's say that Erica had hours of three hundred and sixty. And so update the timesheet hours. I'm going to say so it's trying to link to the timesheet because I put the timesheet on the payroll, but I was basically using the timesheet to populate the information for the invoices more than pull it in for the purposes of the payroll. So I'm going to kind of discard the timesheet here. So that's going to give us 15. That's going to be that's going to be then we'll hold on a second. I'm going to put in here, not three sixty, I'm going to put one sixty. And so that'll be two thousand four hundred. OK, and then what we're going to withhold, I'm going to change this again. I know it's really high, but I'm going to change it to three sixty to tie up to our numbers in our practice problem and remove the California tax. So that means that the two thousand four hundred times point oh six two, that's where they came out with that one four eight eighty. And the two four oh oh times the point one oh four five is where they come up with that thirty four eighty and then we've got our match down here. So for this employee, the transaction would be when we record this. We're going to have you can think of it first as a payroll check. So you might say, well, the payroll check is going to go cash is going to go down by two four oh oh two four oh minus the five four three point six. It's going to go down by that by that one eight five six forty. And then the other side is going to be payroll expense, but it's going to go on there for the full amount of the two thousand four hundred, the difference, the liability. This kind of sounds like sales tax, maybe to you. The liability that which is which is their taxes. The employee's taxes kind of like the sales tax is supposed to be the customer's taxes is going to go into the the liability account for the liabilities. And then we're going to pay taxes over and above. These are our taxes. So we have payroll expense payroll tax expense for the one eighty three sixty and liabilities going up for that amount as well. So again, you can see that check by check and you can also see it in total. So if I was to think of both employees as one large employee, you could think of the transaction that way as well. Let me just double check these numbers. So that looks that looks good. And that looks that looks that looks that looks good, I think so. And remember, pay your payroll is one of those things you want to measure twice and cut once. You don't want to have to reprocess payroll generally because it's a pain to do that. You have to like delete the paychecks generally to do that and run it again. So you could save it for later if you needed to go to coffee before processing.
