How to Use
Enter your annual gross salary, select your filing status, and choose your pay frequency to see your take-home pay per period. The calculator applies the 2025 federal standard deduction and marginal tax brackets, then subtracts FICA taxes.
Important: This is a simplified estimator. Actual payroll deductions may include pre-tax benefits, state taxes, and other withholdings.

Frequently Asked Questions
This calculator does not include state income tax, pre-tax benefit deductions (health insurance, 401k contributions, FSA/HSA), or local taxes. Your actual take-home pay will be lower if you have these deductions.
Pre-tax 401k contributions reduce your taxable income dollar-for-dollar, lowering your federal tax bill, potentially dropping you into a lower bracket.
Your marginal rate is the rate you pay on your last dollar of income. Your effective rate is your total tax divided by your total income — it's always lower because of the progressive bracket system and standard deduction.
Yes. The calculator automatically subtracts the 2025 standard deduction based on your filing status before computing federal tax.
