Paycheck calculator FAQ
- How do I calculate my take-home pay?
- Start with your gross pay, then subtract federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare (FICA, 7.65%), and any state income tax. What's left is your net or take-home pay. Pick your state above for a calculator tuned to its tax rules.
- Which states have no income tax?
- Nine states levy no state income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. In those states your take-home is higher because only federal tax and FICA come out. Our guide to states with no income tax compares all nine and explains what each charges instead. See the no-income-tax states guide.
- How much is taken out of my paycheck for taxes?
- Most workers see roughly 15–30% of gross pay withheld once federal income tax, the 7.65% FICA payroll tax and state tax are combined. The exact share depends on your income, filing status and state.
- Why is my paycheck different from my salary divided by pay periods?
- Your gross per period is the salary split evenly, but withholding for federal tax, FICA, state tax, retirement contributions and benefits is deducted before you're paid, so your net deposit is lower than the gross figure.
