How the Salary Calculator Works
Our salary calculator helps you understand your compensation in three different ways:
Quick Estimate
Enter your gross salary and estimated tax rate to see your take-home pay. Use the income range guidelines to estimate your total tax rate if you're unsure.
Pay Stub Calculator
Enter the gross and net pay from any recent pay stub to calculate your actual tax rate. This gives you the most accurate picture of what percentage of your income goes to taxes and deductions.
Salary Comparison
Compare two job offers side by side. Account for potentially different tax rates at different income levels, and see the actual take-home pay difference to make an informed decision.
Understanding Your Tax Rate
Your total effective tax rate includes federal income tax, state income tax (if applicable), Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and other deductions. The easiest way to find your actual rate is to use the Pay Stub Calculator with a recent paycheck.
