See IRS Pub. 15 (Circular E) for details on withholding.

There is a withholding calculator on the IRS website that
will walk you right through it.

Download Publication 15 from www.irs.gov and turn to the
section on "Percentage Method of Withholding". It has
all you want to know.

I'm trying to find information on how the number allowances
you claim on your paycheck, affects the federal taxes
witheld. I am currently claiming 2, and am getting too much
taken out of my check still, and got back too large of a
refund. I would like to balance this out a little better.
Is there a % on how each time you add an allowance, x% less
will be taken out?

Thanks
