No professional advice
Nothing on the Site constitutes tax, legal, accounting, investment, or financial advice. The calculators apply published 2026 federal and state tax rules to the inputs you provide. They cannot account for every personal circumstance — local income taxes, court-ordered withholdings, employer-specific benefit elections, multi-state work arrangements, alternative minimum tax, or unusual W-4 entries may all change your actual paycheck.
Estimates only
All results are estimates. Your employer's payroll system, an IRS withholding update, or a mid-year tax-law change may produce different figures. The calculators do not model itemized deductions, state/local tax deductions, charitable contributions, student-loan interest, educator expenses, mortgage interest, HSA above the contribution limit, self-employment costs, the Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit, education or energy credits, premium tax credits, personal/dependent exemptions, W-4 allowances, local/city/county income taxes, employee-paid SUI/SDI, garnishments, post-tax benefits, equity compensation, bonus or special supplemental withholding, or employer FICA matches. Always cross-reference an actual pay stub or consult a CPA, enrolled agent, or attorney for decisions that depend on precise amounts.
Sources
Federal brackets and FICA amounts follow IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32 and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) updates of July 2025. State rates and brackets are sourced from each state's department of revenue. Median household-income figures are from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2023 ACS, 1-year estimates).
