Paycheck Calculator

Start with gross pay, subtract federal income tax (based on brackets), FICA (7.65%), state tax, and pre-tax deductions like 401k and health insurance.

For most workers, about 22-35% goes to taxes (federal + FICA + state). Your effective rate depends on income and filing status.

401k contributions are pre-tax, reducing your taxable income. A $200/paycheck 401k contribution saves you roughly $50-70 in taxes.
