Frequently Asked Questions

How is take-home pay calculated?

Take-home pay is calculated by subtracting taxes and deductions from your gross salary. This includes federal income tax, state income tax (if applicable), FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare), and any other deductions like health insurance or retirement contributions.

What's the difference between gross and net pay?

Gross pay is your total salary before any deductions. Net pay (take-home pay) is what you actually receive after taxes and other deductions are subtracted. For example, if you earn $60,000 gross, your net pay might be around $45,000-50,000 depending on your state and circumstances.

Which states have no income tax?

Nine states have no state income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. This means residents only pay federal taxes, potentially keeping more of their paycheck.

How accurate are these paycheck calculations?

Our calculations use current 2025 tax brackets and rates for federal and state taxes, plus standard FICA rates (7.65%). Results are estimates and may vary based on filing status, additional deductions, or local taxes. For precise calculations, consult a tax professional.

Do I need to include local taxes?

Some cities and counties impose additional income taxes beyond state and federal taxes. Our state calculators include major local taxes where applicable, but you may need to account for specific municipal taxes in your area.
