  1. Subtract the biweekly Thrift Savings Plan contribution from the gross biweekly wages.

  2. Multiply the adjusted gross biweekly wages times 26 to obtain the annual wages.

  3. Determine the exemption allowance by applying the following guideline and subtract this amount from the annual wages.

    Exemption Allowance = $2,425 x Number of Exemptions

  4. Determine the additional allowance by applying the following guideline and subtract this amount from step 3 to compute the taxable income.

    Additional Allowance = $1,000 x Number of Additional Exemptions

  5. Multiply the taxable income computed in step 4 times 4.95 percent to determine the amount of Illinois tax withholding.

  6. Divide the annual Illinois tax withholding by 26 to obtain the biweekly Illinois tax withholding.
