Federal income tax and FICA match on both sides of the table because the wage and filing status are identical. The gap is California’s state income-tax model. Housing, sales tax, and benefits are not in the number.
At $80,000 single, additional Medicare tax (0.9% over $200,000) does not apply. Social Security is 6.2% of the full wage (under the $184,500 base). The standard deduction is $16,100. Switch frequency to Hourly in the widget for the live 80000 salary to hourly rate at your hours.
