If you are "not familiar with Excel" -- and your question reflects complete
lack of knowledge about it (asking for "a" formula) -- you should get
professional help. I mean from an Excel programmer :-). Actually, a
professional bookkeeper or accountant who knows Excel.

I would not rely on any template. Payroll maintenance is affected by a lot
of state law as well as federal law. No template can possibly handle the
varied law for all states. And I would even be suspicious of the correctness
in handling federal law correctly.

You are way over your head. Don't trust yourself to do this right.
