Tax year 2026

Where Your Paycheck Actually Goes
The number in your offer letter is not the number that reaches your bank account. Between the two sit federal income tax, two separate payroll taxes, usually a state income tax, and whatever you have chosen to divert into retirement and health benefits. For a typical US salary the gap runs 20–35% of gross.
Gross pay: your salary or hourly rate before anything is withheld.
Federal income tax: charged on your gross minus pre-tax deductions minus your standard or itemized deduction, using graduated brackets.
FICA: Social Security at 6.2% and Medicare at 1.45%. These are charged on your full gross wages, which is why a 401(k) does not reduce them.
State income tax: anywhere from nothing to over 13% of taxable income, depending entirely on where you live.
The Order the Calculations Happen In
This is the part most paycheck estimates get wrong, and it changes the answer by real money.
- Start with gross wages. Annual salary, or hourly rate × hours × 52.
- Charge FICA on the full gross. Social Security at 6.2% up to the wage base, Medicare at 1.45% with no cap. Pre-tax deductions do not reduce this.
- Subtract pre-tax deductions — traditional 401(k), health premiums, HSA and FSA contributions.
- Subtract the standard or itemized deduction. What remains is your taxable income.
- Apply the graduated brackets to that taxable income, one band at a time.
- Subtract state income tax, then any post-tax deductions.
Getting step 2 in the wrong place is the classic error: treating a 401(k) contribution as if it cut your Social Security and Medicare too. It does not. It saves you income tax only.
Marginal Rate vs Effective Rate
“I got a raise and it pushed me into a higher tax bracket, so I take home less” is one of the most persistent myths in personal finance. It is not how brackets work.
Brackets are applied in slices. If the 22% band starts at $50,400 of taxable income, only the dollars above $50,400 are taxed at 22%. Everything below it is still taxed at 10% and 12%. A raise never reduces your take-home pay.
Marginal rate
The rate on your next dollar earned. This is the number that matters when deciding whether an extra shift, a bonus, or a bigger 401(k) contribution is worth it.
Effective rate
Total tax divided by gross pay — your actual average. Always lower than your marginal rate, usually by a wide margin. This is the honest answer to “what percentage do I pay?”
The calculator above shows both, because they answer different questions.
Social Security and Medicare, Precisely
Social Security (6.2%) applies only up to an annual wage base that rises each year. Earn above it and the tax simply stops for the rest of the year — which is why some high earners see their paycheck grow in November or December.
Medicare (1.45%) has no cap at all. Every dollar of wages is subject to it.
Additional Medicare (0.9%) kicks in on wages above $200,000 for single filers and $250,000 for married filing jointly. Unlike almost everything else in the tax code, these thresholds are written into statute and are not adjusted for inflation, so more people cross them every year.
Your employer pays a matching 6.2% and 1.45% on your behalf. It never appears on your payslip, but it is part of what you cost — and if you are self-employed you pay both halves yourself as self-employment tax.
The Nine States With No Tax on Wages
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming take no income tax out of your wages. On a $75,000 salary that is commonly worth $2,000–$4,000 a year compared with a mid-tax state.
Two of those need an asterisk. New Hampshire historically taxed interest and dividend income, though not wages. Washington taxes capital gains, but not wage income — so for a salaried employee it is a no-tax state.
It is not free money. States without an income tax raise revenue elsewhere: higher sales tax, notably higher property tax, or severance taxes on oil and gas. Texas and New Hampshire in particular have some of the highest effective property tax rates in the country. Compare total tax burden, not just the income tax line.
Getting More of Your Own Money Back
1. Contribute enough to get the full employer match
An employer match is an immediate, guaranteed return on your contribution. Leaving it unclaimed is the single most expensive common mistake in US personal finance. Raise your 401(k) percentage in the calculator above and watch both your tax bill and your take-home fall — the tax saving offsets part of the contribution.
2. Use an HSA if you have a qualifying health plan
An HSA is the only account that is pre-tax going in, tax-free while invested, and tax-free coming out for medical costs. Contributions made through payroll also avoid FICA, which a 401(k) does not.
3. Fix your W-4 rather than chasing a big refund
A large refund means you lent the government money at 0% for a year. If your refund is consistently four figures, adjusting your W-4 moves that money into your paychecks where it can earn interest or pay down debt.
4. Model the state before you take the job
A relocation offer with the same salary can be worth thousands more or less depending on the state. Compare the same gross across two state pages before you negotiate — and factor in property tax and cost of living, not just the income tax line.
Why This Will Not Match Your Payslip Exactly
This calculator applies the annual tax tables directly. Your employer does something different: it uses the IRS Publication 15-T withholding tables, driven by the Form W-4 you filled in, to estimate your annual liability and spread it across your paychecks.
Those two methods land close but rarely identical. The difference is what shows up as a refund or a balance due when you file.
Specifically, this calculator does not model:
- Extra withholding, multiple-job or spouse adjustments from your W-4
- Tax credits — the Child Tax Credit, education credits, the Earned Income Tax Credit
- Local city or county income taxes (New York City, Philadelphia and many Ohio municipalities)
- State-specific deductions, exemptions and credits
- Bonuses withheld at the 22% supplemental flat rate
- Wage garnishments, union dues, or employer-specific benefits
Use it to compare scenarios — a raise, a state move, a bigger 401(k) contribution — where the difference is what matters and small absolute errors cancel out. For an exact figure, your payslip and the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator are the authorities.

- Fórmula

FICA = min(gross, 184,500) × 6.2% + gross × 1.45% + max(0, gross − additional-Medicare threshold) × 0.9%, all on FULL gross. Taxable income = gross − pre-tax deductions − standard (or itemized) deduction. Federal tax = graduated brackets applied slice by slice to that taxable income. Take-home = gross − federal − FICA − state − pre-tax − post-tax. - Fuente
- Federal brackets and standard deduction from the IRS inflation adjustments for tax year 2026 (Rev. Proc. 2025-32), cross-checked against the Tax Foundation 2026 bracket tables. Social Security wage base of $184,500 from the SSA 2026 COLA fact sheet. FICA rates and the statutory (non-indexed) Additional Medicare thresholds from IRS Topic no. 751.

- Limitaciones
- All 51 jurisdictions are modelled: 9 states with no wage income tax, 14 flat-rate states, and 28 graduated jurisdictions (26 states plus DC) computed from their full published 2026 brackets, each with its own standard deduction and personal exemption or credit — including Connecticut’s exemption taper — and worked from state AGI rather than federal taxable income, because state deductions are their own and mostly far smaller than the federal one. What is still NOT modelled: local city and county income taxes (New York City, Philadelphia, many Ohio municipalities), state-specific credits and dependent allowances, W-4 extra withholding and multi-job adjustments, federal tax credits, and the 22% supplemental rate on bonuses. State brackets are keyed single / married-jointly only, so married-filing-separately and head-of-household fall back to the single table. Your employer withholds using IRS Publication 15-T tables, so a real payslip will differ. Not modelled at all: W-4 extra withholding and multi-job adjustments, tax credits, local city/county income taxes, and the 22% supplemental rate on bonuses. Your employer withholds using IRS Publication 15-T tables, so a real payslip will differ.

State income tax is the biggest swing factor in take-home pay. Nine states take none of it.
