Understand your result

Gross pay

Pay before federal income tax, FICA and qualifying pretax deductions.

Federal income tax

Estimated using the stated IRS tax-year brackets after the standard deduction. Credits and itemized deductions are not applied.

FICA

Social Security tax up to the wage base plus Medicare tax. Additional Medicare tax is not modeled.

Take-home pay

Estimated net pay after the taxes included in this calculator.

How this calculation works
  1. Enter an annual salary or hourly wage, hours per week and filing status.
  2. The calculator converts between annual and hourly pay, then estimates federal income tax and FICA for the stated tax year.
  3. State/local taxes are excluded. This is annualized liability, not W-4 withholding.
Estimated take-home pay = Gross pay − Entered deductions − Federal income tax − Social Security − Medicare

Annualized estimate for one worker using the selected tax year, federal income tax, employee FICA and qualifying pretax deductions. It does not recreate W-4 withholding.

Take-home pay
Take-home pay is estimated net income after the federal income tax, FICA and qualifying pretax deductions included in this calculator.
