A free calculator that estimates take-home pay for a U.S. salary after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and state income tax. Enter a salary and state to see yearly, monthly and per-paycheck amounts, with a breakdown of each tax. It is a 2026 estimate that excludes credits, itemized deductions, AMT and local taxes. The site also has free hourly-to-salary, W-2 vs 1099 and raise calculators. No account needed.
Job offers are usually quoted as a gross salary, which makes it hard to know what will actually land in your bank account. We built this calculator so anyone can see a clear breakdown of federal, state and FICA taxes before they accept an offer.
