US Paycheck Calculator について
This US paycheck calculator estimates your take-home pay for each pay period in 2026. Enter your gross pay, how often your pay arrives, your filing status and your state. It takes off federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and state income tax, and shows the result for one paycheck and for the full year.
Federal income tax uses the 2026 brackets after the standard deduction. Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to the $184,500 wage base and Medicare is 1.45%, with an extra 0.9% on wages above $200,000. State income tax comes from a dated table for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and states without a tax on wages, such as Texas and Florida, show $0. You can also enter retirement contributions and pre-tax benefits to see how they change your pay.

よくあるご質問
How is federal withholding estimated?
The tool annualizes your pay, takes off retirement contributions, pre-tax benefits and the 2026 standard deduction, and applies the federal brackets. Your employer uses your Form W-4 and the IRS withholding tables, so the real figure can differ by a small amount.
Which states have no income tax on wages?
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming do not tax wages. Washington taxes some capital gains but not paychecks.
What is the Social Security wage base for 2026?
Social Security tax applies to the first $184,500 of wages in 2026. Medicare has no limit, and an additional 0.9% applies to wages over $200,000.
Why is my real paycheck different?
Local taxes, state disability and family leave deductions, health plan choices, extra withholding and benefits other than those you enter can all change a real paycheck. Treat this page as a close estimate rather than a payslip.
