How the estimate is built
Take-home pay is gross wages minus four things: federal income tax (2026 brackets after the standard deduction), state income tax, Social Security at 6.2% up to the $184,500 wage base, and Medicare at 1.5% plus an extra 0.9% above $200,000. Nothing here accounts for 401(k) contributions, health premiums or dependent credits — those all lower the taxable figure, so your real paycheck is usually a little larger. See the full method →
