About PaycheckEstimator

PaycheckEstimator is a free online tool that estimates your take-home pay from your salary or hourly wage. Enter your gross pay, pay frequency, and estimated tax rates, and it shows your estimated net pay per paycheck, per month, and per year, with a simple breakdown of federal tax, state tax, FICA, and other deductions.

The tool is built for quick, private planning. Every calculation happens in your own browser — nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or sent to any server.

Important: results are estimates for planning only, not tax advice. Actual take-home pay depends on your real withholdings, state and local taxes, benefits, and your employer's payroll. For exact figures, check your pay stub or speak to a tax professional.

PaycheckEstimator is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with any tax authority, payroll provider, or employer.
