Frequently asked questions

Quick answers before you run a more personal estimate.

How much of a $75,000 salary do I take home?

Your take-home amount depends on filing status, work state, deductions, benefits and other withholding. Use the paycheck calculator to see the federal and payroll-tax estimate for your own assumptions.

How is paycheck tax calculated?

The calculator starts with gross pay, subtracts entered pre-tax deductions, estimates federal income tax using 2026 brackets and standard deductions, then adds employee Social Security and Medicare taxes. State coverage is plainly identified in the result.

What is the difference between gross and net pay?

Gross pay is earnings before taxes and deductions. Net pay, sometimes called take-home pay, is what remains after taxes, benefit deductions and other withholding.

Does overtime get taxed differently?

Overtime wages are generally subject to the same income and payroll tax rules as other wages. A larger check can have more withholding because more taxable wages were paid in that pay period.
