How net pay is calculated

The calculator starts with your annual gross salary and subtracts your standard deduction ($15,000 single / $30,000 MFJ / $22,500 HoH). Federal income tax is then computed using progressive 2026 brackets (10% to 37%). FICA includes Social Security (6.2% up to $176,100) and Medicare (1.45% uncapped + 0.9% additional over $200,000). A simplified state tax estimate is applied based on your selected state. The result is your annual and monthly net salary.
