Notes
1. Simple mode matches the original flat-percentage approach.
2. Detailed estimate mode separates federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and estimated state income tax for all 50 states.
3. Enter year-to-date gross to estimate the Social Security wage-base cap correctly.
4. State estimates use annualized wage income, selected filing status, common deductions/exemptions, and exclude city/county local taxes. This is an estimate, not payroll or tax advice.
5. Pre-tax 401(k)/HSA deductions are available only in Detailed Estimate Mode. They reduce estimated federal and state income-taxable wages, but Social Security and Medicare are calculated on gross wages in this estimator.
Important Disclaimer
This paycheck estimator provides approximate gross-to-net estimates only. Federal withholding calculations use the documented 2026 IRS Publication 15-T percentage method inputs, but do not replace official IRS guidance, including IRS Publication 15-T, or employer payroll systems.
State income tax calculations are estimated, vary by jurisdiction, and do not include city, county, or local taxes. Actual paycheck amounts may differ due to employer rules, benefits, garnishments, or withholding elections.
This tool does not provide tax, legal, or payroll advice.
