How it works

  1. Your yearly pay is split by how often you’re paid.
  2. Retirement skips income tax; health, HSA and FSA skip income and payroll tax.
  3. Federal tax uses this year’s brackets and the standard deduction for your filing status.
  4. State and local taxes come from your zip code.

Questions

Why is my real paycheck different?

Withholding choices, other deductions and local rules all change it. This is a close estimate, not your stub.

Does it include state tax?

Yes, from your zip code, at a sample flat rate for your state, plus local tax where we know it.

How accurate is this?

It’s an estimate from the numbers you enter. Real statements and rates vary a little.

Is this calculator free?

Yes. No sign-up. It’s in the pinchd app too, where the answer fits into your actual paychecks.
