FAQ
- What taxes does this paycheck calculator include?
- It estimates 2024 US federal income tax (after the standard deduction) and FICA — Social Security and Medicare. It does not include any state or local income tax.
- Why is my real paycheck different?
- This is federal and FICA only. It excludes state and local taxes, 401(k) and other pre-tax deductions, health premiums, and employer-specific withholding. Treat it as an estimate, not tax advice.
- How are the per-paycheck amounts calculated?
- Annual federal tax and FICA are computed on your salary, then each is divided by the number of pay periods you select. Net per check is your annual take-home divided the same way.
