How to use Take-Home-Paycheck Calculator

Provide the pay and withholding inputs, and the calculator will estimate what may remain after common federal payroll deductions are applied.

What this calculator is for

This calculator is for paycheck planning, salary-offer review, and budgeting from net pay instead of gross pay. It is an estimate because actual payroll systems can include benefits, local taxes, pre-tax deductions, and employer-specific settings not captured in a simplified model.

Tips

Review retirement contributions, health premiums, and local taxes separately if they are part of your actual paycheck.
Federal withholding estimates are sensitive to filing assumptions, so update the inputs when your tax situation changes.
