How Do I Update My New Jersey Tax Tables?


Where do I find the tax tables?

You will need the current instruction booklet for employers NJ-WT from the NJ Department of Revenue website.

Which tables do I use?

Use the annual percentage method tables. There are five different rate tables, A-E. Which table you use is dependent on the employees filing status claimed on form NJ-W4 or Federal form W-4. See the NJ-WT booklet for instructions. Figure 1 shows an example of rate table A.

Note that the figures shown in this document are for demonstration purposes only, and may not be current. Please consult the current publication for the most up-to-date information. Though the figures change periodically, the method of calculation should remain the same. If the calculation method has changed for this state please notify the webmaster.

How to setup/update the tables in PowerChurch Plus

  • Description: Enter a unique name to identify the tax table (for example, "NJ State Tax - Rate A").
  • Tax type: The type of tax in which this table applies. In this instance, select State Tax.
  • Withholding allowance: Enter the amount for one withholding allowance.
  • Round tax to nearest whole dollar: Check this box to round the calculated tax amount to the nearest whole dollar.
  • Annual Rate Table: Click the Annual Rate Table tab. From Figure 1, enter the figures from the "But not over" column followed by the tax rate percentage for each bracket.
