About taxes & income calculators
Which tax calculator do you need?
The Income Tax Calculator estimates your total federal bill, while the Paycheck Calculator shows take-home pay after tax and FICA on a single check. Use the Salary Calculator to convert between hourly and annual pay, and the Tax Refund Calculator to see whether you are over- or under-withheld for the year.
What you need to enter
Start with your gross income and filing status (single, married filing jointly or head of household). The standard deduction is applied automatically: $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for joint filers in 2026. Add pre-tax 401(k) or HSA contributions to lower taxable income.
A worked example
In 2026, a single filer earning $60,000 subtracts the $16,100 standard deduction for $43,900 of taxable income. Federal tax comes to about $5,020: 10% on the first $12,400 plus 12% on the rest, an effective rate near 8.4%. FICA of 7.65% and any state tax are separate, which the Paycheck Calculator layers in.
Frequently asked questions
Which tax year do these calculators use?
Both 2026 and 2025. Paycheck and withholding tools use 2026 (standard deduction $16,100 single / $32,200 joint, Social Security wage base $184,500). Return-based tools such as the income tax and refund calculators also offer 2025 ($15,750 / $31,500 after the 2025 tax law), for returns filed in 2026.
Do these include state income tax?
The federal tools estimate federal tax and FICA only. State income tax varies widely and a handful of states have none, so add your state rate separately for a complete picture.
What is FICA?
FICA is the payroll tax for Social Security (6.2% of wages up to the $184,500 wage base in 2026) and Medicare (1.45% of all wages). Employees pay 7.65% in total and employers pay a matching 7.65%. On wages above $200,000, employers also withhold a 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax, which only the employee pays.
