Why trust these numbers

Cited tax data

Every rate comes from the IRS, the Social Security Administration, and state revenue departments — and we track the source for each one.

Math checked to the penny

Each calculator is tested against worked examples before it goes live. If the example and the formula disagree, we fix it first.

Free and private

No account, no paywall. The numbers you type stay in your browser — we never send your pay to a server.

Common questions

Are these calculators free?

Yes, completely. There's no account, no paywall, and no limit on how many times you use them.

How accurate are the estimates?

They apply current published tax rates and standard formulas to what you enter, so they're a strong estimate. They aren't exact employer withholding, which follows your full W-4 and the IRS Publication 15-T method. For decisions that matter, check with a tax professional or your payroll department.

Do you store my salary or personal info?

No. Every calculator runs in your browser. The numbers you type are never sent to or stored by us. See our Privacy Policy.

Which tax year do you use?

The current tax year, shown on each calculator. We update rates as the IRS and states publish them each year.
