<prompt> Human: So I just stated an 80k a year job, I got my first bi weekly paycheck which only included one weeks worth of pay, Why is my federal withholding so low 141.67? I selected federal 2 allowances btwGross Weekly 1538.4401k-76.92Insurance-37Fed Tax-141.67MD Tax-90.5SS-95.38Medicare-22.31Total Take home pay1074.62  <response>: If they pay bi-weekly, your 1 weeks worth of income will be taxed like its 2 weeks worth of income. So they will withhold an amount as if you made half of what you actually make.The rate will be significantly higher when you have 2 full weeks of work on the next paycheck.
