Estimate only. This calculator projects annual tax liability using 2026 federal and state rate schedules and divides it across your pay periods. Your employer withholds using IRS Publication 15-T and state withholding tables, so actual per-check amounts will differ — particularly with bonuses, mid-year raises, multiple jobs, itemized deductions, or local taxes that vary by municipality.
State insurance contributions (SDI, PFML, and similar) are applied automatically where the state requires an employee contribution. Local tax is applied only when you select a jurisdiction. Results are not tax, legal, or accounting advice.
