How the paycheck calculator works
Every estimate starts from your gross salary and subtracts federal income tax (on your salary minus the 2026 standard deduction), Social Security and Medicare (FICA), and your state’s income tax. Three states (Texas, Florida, and Washington) tax no wage income at all. Seven use a single flat rate, and five run graduated brackets. Each state page explains its own rules and shows the full breakdown.
These are annual-bracket estimates, not exact per-paycheck withholding (employers use IRS withholding tables) and not your final tax liability. They exclude local taxes, pre-tax deductions like 401(k) and health premiums, and tax credits. Where a 2026 figure has not yet been finalized by a state, the calculator says so plainly rather than inventing a number. This is general information, not tax advice.
