Terms of Use

Terms and limitations for using PaycheckDB paycheck withholding estimates.

Estimate only

PaycheckDB provides paycheck withholding estimates. It is not a tax return calculator, payroll filing system, legal service, financial advisor, or tax advisor.

Limits of use

Actual paychecks can differ because of employer setup, benefit rules, year-to-date wages, local taxes, nonresident allocation, multi-state work, garnishments, tipped wages, special industry rules, pre-2020 W-4 handling, and payroll rounding.

Professional use

Employers should use payroll software or qualified payroll professionals before running payroll, filing tax forms, or making withholding decisions for employees.
