What is Paycheck Calculator?

The paycheck calculator helps you estimate your net take-home pay after taxes and deductions. Enter your gross salary, filing status, and pre-tax deductions to see a detailed breakdown of federal tax, Social Security, and Medicare withholdings.

How to use

  1. Enter your gross annual salary and select your pay frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly)
  2. Choose your filing status and add any pre-tax deductions like retirement contributions or health insurance
  3. View your estimated per-paycheck and annual breakdown of taxes, deductions, and net pay

Result

A single filer earning $75,000 annually with a 6% 401k contribution would see approximately $4,200 gross per bi-weekly paycheck, with roughly $3,200 take-home after federal tax, Social Security, and Medicare withholdings.
