I am having trouble getting the health deductions from the TaxablePay method to the getNetPay method.
I have tried everything I can think of including using a taxablePay class. I am running out of ideas. I have below...
1.The program description(what i want the program to do).
2.The expected output of the program.
3.The output I receive when I compile my program.
4.The code I have so far(with comments to the problem areas)
DESCRIPTION
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Create a program that will calculate employee’s weekly pay as follows:
Inputs:
1.Name
2.Hours worked
3.Rate of Pay ($ / hour)
4.Marital Status (Married, Single)
5.# of Dependents
6.Healthcare (Yes or No)
7.Keeps asking for additional inputs and creating the outputs until a name of X is given.
Outputs:
1.Gross pay (Hours over 40 are paid at time and ½)
2.Taxable Pay (Gross – Medical Deduction, if selected, from table below)
3.Federal Tax
4.Net Pay (Gross Pay – Health Care Deduction (if any) – Federal Tax).
5.If any of the inputs are unreasonable, tell user with a message and force reentry of the data.
Additional Requirements:
1.Use functions for major tasks
a.Calculate Gross Pay
b.Calculate Health Deductions
c.Calculate Tax
d.Calculate Net Pay
2.Other than constants, do NOT use global variables
(e.g You need to pass variable between functions through the argument list).
Tax Calculation Pseudocode
If married
TaxablePay = GrossPay – 150 – 70.0 * NumberDependents
if healthcare
TaxablePay = TaxablePay – 100
if TaxablePay > 800
Tax = (TaxablePay - 800) * .35 + (800 - 500) * .25 + (500 - 200) * .15 +200 * .10
else if TaxablePay > 500
Tax = (TaxablePay - 500) * .25 + (500 – 200) * .15 +200 * .10
else if TaxablePay > 200
Tax = (TaxablePay - 200) * .15 +200 * .10
else
Tax = TaxablePay * .10
else
TaxablePay = GrossPay – 75 – 70.0 * NumberDependents
if healthcare
TaxablePay = TaxablePay – 60
if TaxablePay > 400
Tax = (TaxablePay - 400) * .35 + (400 - 250) * .25 + (250 - 100) * .15 +100 * .10
else if TaxablePay > 250
Tax = (TaxablePay - 250) * .25 + (250 – 100) * .15 +100 * .10
else if TaxablePay > 100
Tax = (TaxablePay - 100) * .15 +100 * .10
else
Tax = TaxablePay * .10
CODE OUTPUT
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WHAT IT SHOULD BE:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A married employee with 45 hours at $20.00/hour, 2 dependents and taking health care:
Employee name: Victoria Swanson
Gross pay is 950.0
Taxable pay is 560.0
Tax is 80.0
Your net pay is 770.0

Any advice is appreciated. I am in a pitfall with this program and would love some expert advice. Thanks in advance!!!!
