About PaycheckCalc

Our Mission

PaycheckCalc is a free paycheck calculator that helps users understand their take-home pay, deductions, and net salary instantly. Enter your salary or hourly rate, select your state, and get a complete breakdown of federal taxes, state taxes, FICA, and all deductions — updated for the 2026 tax year.

Why We Built This

We built PaycheckCalc because understanding your paycheck shouldn't require a finance degree. Whether you're evaluating a new job offer, planning your budget, or exploring how pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions affect your take-home pay, our calculator gives you instant, accurate results.

Key Features

• 2026 Tax Brackets — Updated with the latest federal tax rates
• All 50 States — Complete state income tax calculations including DC
• Pre-Tax Deductions — Model 401(k), health insurance, HSA, and FSA impacts
• Visual Breakdown — Donut chart and detailed pay stub format
• Multiple Pay Frequencies — Weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, and annual
