4. 4 Formulae Continues: Net Pay: Try to write the formula!! (Usually it is your ‘take-home’ pay, that is after you deduct the taxes from the gross pay) = Gross Pay – (Federal Tax + State Tax) Tax%: = (Total Tax)/Gross Pay ‘x 100’ = (Federal Tax + State Tax)/Gross Pay

5. 5 Relative Referencing: When copying a formula, Excel adjusts the cell references so that the new formula contains references corresponding to the new cell locations: if you copy downward, Excel adjust the ROW portion of the cell reference, and if copied across, Excel adjusts the COLUMN portion of the cell reference in the formula. This is RELATIVE REFERENCING
