How it works
Every paycheck loses federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500) and Medicare (1.45%). Most states add income tax, and some add disability or paid-leave contributions, such as California's 1.3% SDI. A few, including Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, add local income taxes.
Each state calculator applies 2026 federal brackets, the $16,100 standard deduction ($32,200 for married couples), the state's own brackets, deductions and credits, and its payroll contributions. Enter pre-tax 401(k) and health deductions to see how they change your take-home pay.
