Estimate your net take-home pay per paycheck after taxes and deductions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an exact calculation of my paycheck?

No, this is an estimate using flat tax rate percentages you enter. Actual paycheck withholding depends on your specific tax bracket, filing status, allowances, and local taxes, which vary by jurisdiction.

What is FICA?

FICA covers Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) taxes, totaling 7.65% for most employees in the US, matched by your employer.

How does pay frequency affect my paycheck amount?

The same annual salary divided into more paychecks (weekly vs. monthly) results in a smaller amount per paycheck, though your total annual take-home pay stays the same.
