Estimate take-home pay using 2026 federal income tax and FICA rules

How to use this tool

  1. Enter annual gross pay in U.S. dollars, such as 40000 for $40,000.
  2. Choose filing status and optional annual federal pre-tax deductions and estimated state/local rate.
  3. Compare estimated monthly take-home with your pay stub; this is not a withholding quote.

Real-world uses

  • Compare two annual salary offers before accounting for benefits.
  • See how filing status changes an approximate federal estimate.

What to check

  • Uses 2026 federal brackets and standard deduction plus employee FICA; it does not model credits, itemization, every benefit, or exact payroll withholding.
  • The state/local rate is your own rough input; state rules vary.
