How this estimate is built
Your take-home pay starts with your gross salary, then subtracts four things: federal income tax (calculated on your salary minus the 2026 standard deduction, across the IRS brackets), Social Security (6.2% up to the annual wage base), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% on high earnings), and Nebraska state income tax. Nebraska cut its top rate to 4.55% for 2026 and collapsed to three brackets under LB 754 (down from 5.20% in 2025, heading to 3.99% in 2027). Social Security income is exempt.
This is an annual-bracket estimate, not the exact amount withheld from each paycheck (employers use IRS withholding tables) and not your final tax bill. It also excludes pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions and health premiums, and any tax credits. It is general information, not tax advice.
