This calculator provides a strong planning estimate using 2026 federal brackets and an editable effective state rate. Real paychecks use the exact IRS percentage method against your W-4, state-specific withholding forms, specific pay period dates, and employer benefit plan details. It is not a substitute for official payroll software.

While federal and state taxes are standard, some states have city, county, or school district taxes. If you live in an area with local taxes (like NYC, Philadelphia, or many Ohio and Pennsylvania municipalities), you can increase the state tax rate input in the calculator to account for your local tax burden.
