One method, which works better if things are "usually" the same but which in any case normally keeps your nose clean with the penalties for not withholding enough is to make sure that what is withheld (and any estimated tax quarterly payments, if you do those) adds up to more (but not too much more) than last year's taxes. Use the "additional amount" box on W4 to do that - trying to make anything work with the W4 worksheet is a hopeless waste of time. You don't want a big refund. You don't want a big tax bill.

One year our withholding ended up way light for some reason, and I noticed it about September. We were able to jack it up through December and then put it where it should have been in January, and got enough paid in to avoid the underpayment penalties.
