This estimator subtracts an estimated tax amount and annual deductions from gross pay, then divides the result by your selected number of paychecks.

1. Enter your annual gross pay before taxes.
2. Enter an estimated combined tax rate.
3. Add recurring annual deductions such as benefits or retirement contributions.
4. Choose how often you are paid and select Estimate take-home pay.

Use this for planning and job comparisons. Your actual paycheck can vary by state, filing status, allowances, reimbursements, bonuses, insurance, and payroll deductions.

What tax rate should I use?

Use a rough combined estimate for federal, state, local, and payroll taxes. A tax professional or your payroll department can provide a more accurate estimate.

Does this include reimbursements and bonuses?

No. Add expected taxable bonuses to gross pay, and treat non-taxable reimbursements separately when comparing offers.

Is this tax advice?

No. It is a planning estimate, not tax or financial advice.
