TakeHome for Windows is an update of the TakeHome... The Net Pay Calculator 
program in the Windows environment.  TakeHome will calculate your net pay 
(calculations of Federal withholding and FICA taxes only in the shareware 
version).  It takes into consideration any pre-tax deductions (up to four 
of them) and 401-k deductions that you may have.  It will also give you 
comparisons of various exemption levels and 401-k percentages and how they 
affect your net pay.

INSTALLATION

This programs requires the file VBRUN200.DLL to be in your \windows\system 
directory.  Other than that, copy the TH-WIN.EXE file to any directory (or 
run it from a floppy drive) that you care to place it in.

STARTING THE PROGRAM

The first time you run the program, it will create the .INI program which 
stores the configuration of company name (if any) and the current year FICA 
rates.  This window will not appear on future runs of the program unless it 
cannot find the .INI file or you change it with the "Settings" option.

FILE - NEW

Allows you to enter the basic payroll data.  You can either enter a salary 
or choose to enter hours and rates (up to 6 different rates per pay period).  
Next you should "Set" the Federal Withholding exemption.  In the shareware 
version, you must manually enter the state and local taxes (these are 
calculated in customized, registered versions).  You can then enter your 
pre-tax deductions (i.e. dependent care, group hospital, medical reimburse-
ment accounts, etc.) in which you are allowed up to four different deductions.
After this you can enter up to 10 other deductions (credit union, union dues, 
donations, insurance, etc.) which are deducted from the paycheck.  The 
Personnel button opens a window for the employee name, social security number 
and current pay period ending date.  Choose OK and you will be asked which 
tax tables to use.  Click on the proper table and click OK.  This window will 
close and you are back to the main program window with your pay data shown.  
After the data has been loaded, you will see more options turn from grey to 
black, making them selectable.

VIEW

You can select three options under view.  Look at the paystub, look and the 
dependent comparison and look at the 401-k comparison.  Simply follow the 
instructions when selecting these options for the completion of the view.

REPORT

Like "View", you can print the various options to your printer.

REGISTER

Use this option to fill out and print a registration form for TakeHome.  If 
you are having it customized for state or local taxes, be sure to enter the 
states and/or localities in the space provided.



We believe TakeHome to be a self-explanatory program depending on what you 
are trying to accomplish.  Any of the areas that remain "greyed" after the 
paycheck data is entered are only available in the registered version.
