Trying to set up first employee with QBO. Their pay is gross $660 a week PAYG is $165.  Quick books is showing PAYG as $70.

PAYG withholding incorrect on pay run

Hi Aliss,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community. Let me share some information about how PAYG is calculated in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

PAYG gets calculated based on the employees gross earning, the pay schedule and its Tax File declaration. You can still check the ATO's Tax Table for your reference as our payroll system is aligned with the ATO's PAYG Calculation.

 

To check the employee's tax file declaration set up:

 

  1. Click on the Payroll tab.
  2. Click on the employee name.
  3. Click on Tax file declaration, check if there is a tax file number entered as well.
  4. Double check the tax set up.

Furthermore, check also the employees pay run defaults and if there is any pay run inclusions set up for the employee.

 

You can also visit the ATO website and check the PAYG calculator based on the employees gross earnings. And last is to check with your accountant.

 

Post again in the Community if you have further concerns. I am around to help you.
