Paycheck calculator · Tax year 2026 estimate

Educational estimate, not tax advice. The paycheck calculator uses 2026 federal income-tax brackets and standard deductions, Social Security and Medicare rules, the 2026 Social Security wage base, and a state income tax rate you enter yourself, applied as a flat percentage. The paycheck estimate does not include itemized deductions, tax credits, local taxes, supplemental wages, or state-specific brackets, credits, or phase-outs unless your entered rate already accounts for them. For exact withholding or tax treatment, check with your payroll department or a qualified tax professional. Full disclaimer.
