                        End If
    At first glance, I'm pretty sure the problem is you are calculating the final Overtime Gross pay after you've calculated the Tax. I believe you just need to move the bolded statement above the "If radSingle.Checked..." line.

    Edit: You'll need to make more changes than just moving that line, you'll need to change it so that in that one line the Gross Pay is fully calculated, and then inside the radFamily/radSingle if statements there should be no recalculations of gross pay.
