Yes, the tax table is assuming you make that much money every week and
deductions are taken accordingly. If (an exaggeration) you worked 40
hours OT you'd get equal to 100 hours at your regular rate for the
week. At the end of the year though, total wages are taxed at the
proper rate. You get that money back.
