How the Estimate Is Calculated
All calculations run in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
Step 1 — Federal Taxable Income
Taxable Income = Gross Annual Salary − Standard Deduction 2026 standard deductions (Rev. Proc. 2025-32): Single $16,100 · Married Filing Jointly $32,200 · Head of Household $24,150
Step 2 — Federal Income Tax (progressive brackets)
Federal Tax = Σ (bracket rate × income in that bracket)
2026 brackets for single filers (taxable income after deduction):
10% on $0–$12,400 · 12% on $12,401–$50,400 · 22% on $50,401–$105,700 ·
24% on $105,701–$201,775 · 32% on $201,776–$256,225 · 35% on $256,226–$640,600 · 37% over $640,600
Married Filing Jointly brackets are approximately double the single thresholds.

Step 3 — FICA (Social Security + Medicare)
SS Tax = min(Gross, $184,500) × 6.2%Medicare = Gross × 1.45% SS wage base $184,500 for 2026. No wage base cap on Medicare. Source: IRS Topic 751
Step 4 — State Income Tax (simplified estimate)
State Tax = (Gross − State Deductions) × Effective State Rate
For Texas and Florida: $0 (no state income tax, verified taxfoundation.org 2026).
For Pennsylvania: flat 3.07% of gross (no state standard deduction) — PA Dept of Revenue.
For Illinois: 4.95% × (Gross − $2,925 personal exemption) — IL Dept of Revenue.
For California: enter your estimated effective rate (CA has 9 progressive brackets; use the FTB rate schedule to find yours).
For New York, Ohio, and other states: enter your estimated effective rate.
