2026 US Paycheck Calculator

2026 Take-Home Pay Calculator

Free 2026 take-home pay calculator for salary, hourly, and bonus checks with federal withholding, state tax, FICA, local tax, deductions, and pay frequency controls.

Fast take-home pay estimates

PaycheckDB estimates take-home pay after federal withholding, FICA, supported state taxes, local tax inputs, and recurring paycheck deductions. The first screen is a calculator because most visitors arrive with a practical question: how much of a paycheck is left after taxes?

The site is built around source-backed state pages, visible support levels, and browser-only calculations. It is intentionally transparent about what is included, what is pending, and which official sources support each tax assumption.

Common questions

How accurate is this paycheck calculator?

Federal withholding uses the 2026 IRS percentage method schedule for automated payroll systems. State calculations are staged by support level and labeled clearly.

Why is my paycheck different?

Actual paychecks can differ because of employer benefit setup, year-to-date wages, state forms, local taxes, garnishments, tipped wages, pre-2020 W-4 forms, and payroll rounding.

Does pay frequency affect taxes?

Pay frequency changes per-pay withholding because annual tax is spread over weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly, or annual pay periods.
