How to Use This Paycheck Calculator

Enter your annual salary, filing status, pay frequency, and contribution settings to estimate your paycheck. This tool helps you understand how taxes and deductions affect take-home pay before payroll changes.

Inputs That Usually Matter Most

  • Filing status: changes your standard deduction and federal tax brackets.
  • Pre-tax contributions: 401(k) and other pre-tax deductions can lower taxable income.
  • State tax estimate: state tax assumptions materially affect net pay in higher-tax states.
