Frequently asked questions
How is take-home pay calculated?
We start from your gross pay, subtract pre-tax deductions (401(k), health insurance), then subtract federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), state income tax and any state payroll taxes such as disability or paid-leave insurance.
What tax year does this calculator use?
2026: the IRS 2026 tax brackets and standard deduction ($16,100 single, $32,200 married filing jointly), the $184,500 Social Security wage base, and 2026 state rates.
Why is my real paycheck a little different?
Employers withhold based on your W-4, which may include extra withholding, other income or deductions. Benefits such as HSA, dental or commuter plans, and local taxes also change the result. Treat this as a close estimate.
Which states have no income tax on wages?
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming don't tax wages. Some of them still have small payroll taxes, like Washington's paid-leave and WA Cares deductions.
