Paycheck Estimator

Estimate take-home pay from gross pay, tax percentage and deductions. This is not a tax filing calculator.

How this tool works

Take-home estimate = gross pay - percentage deductions - other deductions. Use this for rough planning, not official tax advice.

What it estimates

The calculator subtracts estimated tax percentage and deductions from gross pay. It is a planning estimate, not payroll or tax advice.

Example

If gross pay is 1,000, estimated deductions are 25%, and other deductions are 50, estimated take-home pay is 700.

Common mistake

Real take-home pay can change because of tax codes, benefits, retirement contributions, location and filing status.
