FAQ
What's the difference between gross and net pay?
Gross pay is your total salary before any deductions. Net pay (take-home) is what you actually receive after all taxes, insurance, and other deductions are subtracted.
What are FICA taxes?
FICA includes Social Security (6.2% on income up to $168,600 in 2024) and Medicare (1.45% on all income, plus 0.9% on income over $200,000).
How do pre-tax deductions work?
Pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions and health insurance reduce your taxable income, potentially lowering your tax bill and increasing take-home pay.
Does this include state taxes?
Yes, you can input your state tax rate. State taxes vary significantly by location, from 0% in some states to over 10% in others.
How accurate are these calculations?
This provides estimates based on current tax rates. Actual take-home pay may vary based on your specific deductions, tax situation, and local taxes.
