Overview
The salary after tax calculator shows how much of your income you keep after federal, state, and payroll taxes. It is designed for comparing offers across states or understanding how filing status impacts your net pay.
Use it when you are planning a move, evaluating a raise, or building a budget based on take-home pay instead of gross salary.
How to Interpret the Results
Review the net annual amount and effective tax rate to understand how state taxes shift your take-home pay. Small differences in tax rates can translate to large changes in annual cash flow.
Use the scenario inputs to compare different filing statuses or income levels without losing the context of your current baseline.
Methodology
Estimates use current federal brackets, standard deductions, and state-level withholding assumptions. Payroll taxes are included for a closer view of net income.
Results are meant for planning and comparison, not for filing. Adjust inputs for bonuses, deductions, or benefits as needed.
