On $16,900/year gross (single filer, standard deduction of $16,100), federal income tax is $80 and FICA (Social Security + Medicare) is $1,293 -- a total of $1,373 in federal taxes.

If a job offers $16,900/year, that's $650 per biweekly paycheck (26 pay periods). Some employers pay semi-monthly (24 periods) -- in that case the same annual salary gives you $704 per paycheck, slightly higher. Always confirm whether a salary offer is paid biweekly (/26) or semi-monthly (/24).
