Use 0 if your state has no income tax or if you want a federal-only estimate.

Payroll tax estimate%

Calculations update as you type.

This tool uses flat percentage estimates for taxes, so it is best for quick planning rather than exact tax filing math.

Add recurring paycheck deductions like insurance or retirement contributions to get a more realistic net-pay estimate.
