Take-Home Pay Calculator

Enter your gross salary to see your actual paycheck after federal income tax and FICA (Social Security + Medicare). Uses 2024 tax brackets with the standard deduction — no itemizing required.

$

Enter your gross annual salary — before any taxes or deductions. Find it on your offer letter or W-2 box 1 (though box 1 may be slightly lower if you have 401k contributions).

Married Filing Jointly roughly doubles the tax brackets and standard deduction compared to Single.

What's not included
