ballpark tax calculation My interest 08-29-2008

I am doing some ballpark tax estimation for various scenarios, but
somewhat fell the result is not correct. Can anybody help to verify
it?

To make it simple, assume wage income $100K, No other income, 401K
deduction etc. Standard deduction 15K, allowance 3K (married with 1
child). This results in 11.5K Fed Tax, 3K Medi tax, 6K SSN tax, plus
whatever state + local tax, if any. That's about 25% all-inclusive
cut.

Is it correct? I don't need to be absolutely accurate to penny, just
some rough estimate is good enough.

Thanks.
