Formula
- Taxable pay estimate = gross pay − entered pre-tax deductions
- Federal income tax is calculated with the selected 2026 filing status and standard deduction.
- Employee payroll taxes are applied under the calculator’s 2026 wage-base and Medicare rules.
- Net pay = gross pay − deductions − estimated federal income tax − estimated employee payroll taxes
Limits
Withholding forms, credits, benefits treatment, additional deductions, state and local tax, self-employment tax, and employer-specific payroll rules are excluded. This is a planning estimate, not a payroll statement or tax return.
