Not available yet: Puerto Rico (2026 rules still being checked). Every filing status (single, married filing jointly or separately, head of household) is available in Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming; the other states show a single filer while their rules for each status are checked.
How take-home pay is estimated
- Federal income tax. Gross pay minus the 2026 standard deduction for a single filer ($16,100), taxed with the 2026 brackets of IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32.
- Social Security and Medicare. 6.2% of wages up to the 2026 wage base ($184,500) and 1.45% Medicare, plus 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax above $200,000.
- State income tax. Each state's 2026 rules, checked against its revenue department: brackets, deductions, exemptions and credits that apply to every single filer.
- Local income tax. City or county wage taxes where they apply to residents, such as Ohio municipalities, Detroit, Kansas City and St. Louis.
Example: on $75,000 in Texas, which has no state income tax, federal income tax is $7,670 and Social Security and Medicare $5,738, leaving $61,592 a year, or $2,369 every two weeks.
Filing status: federal tables for all four statuses (single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household) come from the same Revenue Procedure; states are added status by status as their rules are verified.
Not included: pre-tax deductions (401(k), health insurance), tax credits and dependents. Your paycheck can be lower if your employer withholds for those, and your tax return settles the final amount.
Paid by the hour? Every calculator accepts an hourly wage, and the hourly to annual salary guide shows the conversion.
Paycheck calculator: questions
Why is my paycheck smaller than the calculator shows?
Most paychecks also lose pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) contributions and health insurance premiums, which the calculator leaves out because they vary by employer.
Which states have no income tax on wages?
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming. Take-home pay there only loses federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare.
Is a cost-of-living raise the same as a merit raise?
No. A cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) raises pay to keep up with prices, usually by the same percentage for everyone; a merit raise rewards individual performance. Only the part of a raise above inflation increases what you can buy.
