Each slice mirrors the statement rows, so the biggest drag on gross pay is easy to spot.
Estimator only. Federal withholding uses 2026 IRS percentage-method schedules; local tax coverage is driven by the available jurisdiction dataset and ZIP/county resolution.
Salary after tax
Salary after tax: estimate your take-home pay
Enter a salary or hourly rate above to see estimated annual and monthly take-home pay.
This uses the same estimator as the calculator above, so it changes as you edit salary, hourly pay, filing status, deductions, and location. Switch between Salary and Hourly at the top of the calculator; hourly pay is annualized from your rate and expected hours.
How is salary after tax estimated?
ClearWorth starts with gross pay, subtracts pre-tax deductions you add, then estimates federal income tax withholding, Social Security, Medicare, and state and local income tax where modeled. What is left after post-tax deductions is estimated take-home pay.
What is the difference between gross and net salary?
Gross salary is pay before anything is withheld. Net salary, or take-home pay, is what reaches your bank account after taxes and payroll deductions such as retirement contributions or insurance premiums.
How do I turn an hourly wage into an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you expect to work in a year. Full-time work at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours, so $25 an hour is about $52,000 a year before taxes.

2025 tax law deductions estimator: tips, overtime, and seniors
The 2025 tax law (Public Law 119-21) added deductions for qualified tips, qualified overtime premium pay, and people 65 and older for tax years 2025 through 2028. This estimator follows IRS Schedule 1-A to estimate those deductions for your annual return. It is a year-end estimate only and does not change the per-paycheck withholding shown above.

Does this change my paycheck withholding?
No. These deductions are claimed on your annual tax return on Schedule 1-A, so this section estimates a year-end effect only. The paycheck estimate above is unchanged. To adjust withholding, use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator or update your Form W-4 with your employer.
How do the phase-outs work?
Per IRS Schedule 1-A, the tips and overtime deductions each drop by $100 for every full $1,000 of modified adjusted gross income above $150,000 ($300,000 if married filing jointly). The senior deduction drops by 6% of MAGI above $75,000 ($150,000 if married filing jointly).
Who can claim these deductions?
You need a valid Social Security number, and married couples must file jointly. Tips must be received in an occupation on the IRS list of tipped occupations. You can claim them whether or not you itemize.
Which tax years do they cover?
Tax years 2025 through 2028, according to the IRS. The dollar amounts here are those stated by the IRS for the law; check IRS.gov each year for updates.
Sources: IRS Schedule 1-A (Form 1040) and IRS FS-2025-03. Not modeled: the car loan interest deduction, the SALT deduction cap, the child tax credit, and occupation or SSN eligibility checks. Estimate only, not tax advice.
Paycheck calculator guide
What this paycheck calculator does
This paycheck calculator estimates take-home pay from salary or hourly income after federal taxes, state taxes, retirement contributions, benefits, and other deductions. It helps show how gross pay turns into net pay.
Educational estimate for tax year 2026, not tax advice. Figures last checked .
How to use it
Choose salary or hourly income.
Enter your pay frequency.
Add federal and state tax assumptions.
Include retirement contributions and deductions.
Review estimated take-home pay per paycheck, month, and year.
Example
A raise does not always increase take-home pay dollar for dollar. Taxes, benefit deductions, retirement contributions, and payroll rules can all affect how much actually lands in your bank account.
Common assumptions
Paycheck estimates can differ from actual payroll results because employers, states, benefit elections, W-4 settings, pre-tax deductions, post-tax deductions, and local taxes can vary.
Open a state-specific paycheck calculator with that state already selected, then fine-tune salary, hourly income, deductions, ZIP code, and filing assumptions.
No. It estimates paycheck withholding and take-home pay, not your final annual tax refund or amount owed.
Why does my actual paycheck differ?
Payroll systems may include details this calculator does not, such as local taxes, employer-specific benefits, special deductions, bonuses, or exact W-4 handling.
Can I use this for hourly income?
Yes. Enter your hourly rate and expected hours to estimate gross and net pay.
Are Social Security and Medicare taxes included?
Yes. Employees pay 6.2% Social Security tax on wages up to the annual wage base and 1.45% Medicare tax on all wages. Employers also withhold an additional 0.9% Medicare tax on wages above $200,000 in a calendar year.
