Frequently asked questions
How is take-home pay calculated?
Start with gross pay, subtract pre-tax deductions such as a traditional 401(k), then subtract federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500), Medicare (1.45%), state income tax and any state payroll programs. What is left is your take-home pay.
Which states have no income tax on wages?
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming do not tax wage income. Washington does have mandatory payroll premiums for paid leave and long-term care.
Why is my paycheck different from the calculator?
Employers withhold using your W-4 and IRS withholding tables, which can differ slightly from your actual annual tax. Benefits, local taxes, garnishments, overtime and bonuses also change a real paycheck.
What changed for 2026?
The 2026 standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers, $32,200 for married couples filing jointly and $24,150 for heads of household. Bracket thresholds rose with inflation, and the Social Security wage base rose to $184,500.
