Frequently asked questions

What taxes are deducted from my paycheck?

Most US paychecks have federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to the annual wage base), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% on high earners), and — in most states — state income tax withheld.

How accurate is this calculator?

This tool estimates tax using the published 2025 federal brackets, the updated federal standard deduction, FICA rules, and the listed state tax sources. It does not account for pre-tax contributions, itemized deductions, tax credits, newer qualified-tip/overtime/senior deductions, local taxes, or employer-specific withholding.

Does it work for all 50 states?

Yes. Pick your state from the dropdown to apply its 2025 income tax rules — progressive brackets, a flat rate, or no state income tax. State rates are compiled from the Tax Foundation and state revenue departments and treated as estimates.
