Paycheck Breakdown
Understanding Your Paycheck
Your gross pay is your total earnings before deductions. Federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) are withheld from every paycheck. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions reduce your taxable income.
Note on Tax Rates
This calculator uses a flat federal tax rate estimate for simplicity. Your actual federal tax is calculated using progressive brackets. Use our Tax Bracket Calculator for a precise breakdown.
