The two main types of payroll deductions are mandatory deductions and voluntary deductions. Mandatory deductions include federal, state, and local taxes, as well as Social Security and Medicare contributions, which are required by law. Voluntary deductions are optional and can include contributions to retirement plans, health insurance premiums, and other benefits selected by the employee. Both types affect an employee's take-home pay and overall compensation.
