The withholding is calculated by extrapolating how much you’d owe in taxes if you earned this amount for every paycheck. If you know how much you’re projected to earn over the year, you could ask whomever handles your pay to adjust it to the correct percentage. Either way, come tax time it’ll be settled and you’ll either get back however much you paid in excess, or you’ll have to pay a bit extra at the end of the year.

earnings are highly variable. the best I can do is I keep a spreadsheet, on which I calculate hourly and weekly and monthly averages. And I’ve only been there a month so not enough data to extrapolate from yet.

well thanks, they are deducting so much from me (26% ?!) that I certainly would be due a refund. Were it not for another tragic turn in my personal circumstances, in which the IRS has been garnishing all of my tax refunds since 2014 because of something stupid my ex-husband did in 2009 😡
