Estimate your net take-home pay per paycheck after federal tax, FICA, and an estimated flat state tax rate.
Your gross pay first has federal income tax withheld (based on simplified annual brackets), then FICA (7.65% for Social Security + Medicare), then your state's tax if applicable. What's left is divided by your pay frequency to estimate take-home pay per paycheck.
Illustrative estimate only, using simplified/rounded 2026 figures — not tax advice. Actual federal, state, and payroll tax rules are more detailed. Always confirm with the IRS or a licensed tax professional.
