SalaryCalc.click is a free salary and paycheck calculator covering all 50 US states plus Washington D.C. We help workers, job seekers, and HR professionals understand exactly how a gross salary translates to net take-home pay — accounting for federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and common pre-tax deductions.
Every US state has different income tax rules. We maintain individual calculator pages for all 51 jurisdictions (50 states + DC), each pre-loaded with the correct state tax rates. Federal brackets, the standard deduction, the Social Security wage base and the 401(k) limit are set for the 2026 tax year. Whether you're looking at California, Texas (which levies no state income tax), or New York, the calculation method is the same — what changes per page is the state rate it loads. State income tax is applied as a simplified effective rate, so treat the state portion as an approximation.
Enter your gross annual salary, pay frequency (weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly), filing status, and state of residence. We compute federal income tax using 2026 IRS brackets, FICA (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%), state income tax at the applicable rate, and net pay per paycheck. You can also input 401(k) contribution percentage and health insurance deduction for a more accurate picture.
Federal bracket and standard deduction figures come from the IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32 for the 2026 tax year. State income tax is applied as a simplified effective rate and is an approximation rather than a full bracket calculation. This site is maintained by one person rather than a team. We are not a tax preparation service — everything here is an estimate, not an official tax computation. For anything that matters, use the current figures from the IRS and your state, or speak to a tax professional.
