About Tax & Salary calculators

US federal income tax is progressive: your income is taxed in slices, and each slice has its own rate. After the standard deduction, only the income in the top bracket is taxed at your marginal rate. Employees also pay Social Security and Medicare tax, and self-employed people pay both halves.

The salary and paycheck calculators convert between hourly, weekly, monthly and yearly pay and show your net pay. Rates and limits are updated for the 2026 tax year, but you should confirm the final numbers on IRS.gov or with a tax professional.

Beyond federal income tax, this category now includes AGI and MAGI, FICA, AMT, the child tax credit, state and sales tax tools for California, Texas, New York, Illinois, Alabama, Florida, Missouri, New Jersey and Ohio, overtime and pay-raise tools, GST and Canadian GST/QST, and the Trump Accounts calculator.

How income is taxed

Federal income tax is progressive, so higher slices of income are taxed at higher rates. Your filing status, deductions and pre-tax contributions determine your taxable income. Start with the income tax calculator and then see the effect on your paycheck with the take-home paycheck calculator.

Pay and filing questions

To compare hourly, weekly and yearly pay, use the salary calculator. If you are married, the marriage tax calculator compares filing together with filing as two single people.

Large estates

Only a small share of estates owe federal estate tax, but the rules involve exclusions, gifts and a high top rate. The estate tax calculator walks through the main pieces.

What you can calculate

Frequently asked questions

Which tax year and rates are used?

US federal brackets and standard deductions for 2026 and 2025, plus FICA. State tax is a rate you enter.

Is this tax advice?

No. Please do not make tax decisions based on these results. Use a tax professional for your actual return.

What is the difference between gross and net pay?

Gross pay is what you earn before deductions. Net pay, or take-home pay, is what remains after taxes and deductions.

Do these calculators include state income tax?

Federal tax is calculated from the official brackets. For state tax you enter a rate, because state rules vary widely.
