You recently landed the job of a lifetime! Your gross annual salary is $185,000. Before taxes, $215 is taken out for an HSA (Health Savings Account) each paycheck, followed by medical insurance, which is 3.7%. Taxes (Federal, Social Security, and Medicare) are then taken out of your pay. You currently have 4 roommates, with whom you split rent and bills on a $2510 per month townhouse where utilities (gas, water, electric, cable etc) total another $975. You have an outstanding loan that costs you $275 per month.

**Assume there are 2 pay periods (4 weeks) in a month and that you are filing taxes in April 2022.

a. What is your taxable income?

b. How much is taken out ANNUALLY for Federal Taxes? Social Security? Medicare?

c. How much money do you have left over at the end of each month after these deductions and expenses are removed?

So far, I think the taxable income is 172,995, but it is telling me this is wrong. How is this wrong? Another calculation I got on cheqq about the taxable income is 185,000 - ($215 x 24 pay periods) - (0.037 x 185,000) = 161,313.10 but this seems incorrect.
