How it works

Your gross salary and your take-home pay are very different numbers. This estimator subtracts federal income tax, the 7.65% FICA payroll tax, an estimated state tax, and your pre-tax 401(k) to show what each paycheck actually delivers.

Frequently asked questions

Why is FICA a flat 7.65%?

It is 6.2% for Social Security (up to an annual wage cap) plus 1.45% for Medicare. Unlike income tax, it is not progressive, so most workers pay the full 7.65% on their wages.
