How This Calculator Works
This calculator estimates your 2026 income tax from the federal brackets and standard deduction ($16,100 Single, $32,200 Married Filing Jointly, $24,150 Head of Household), Social Security and Medicare tax (the Social Security wage base is $184,500), and the income tax rules of the state you pick. If your city or county taxes income, enter its rate yourself. The result is an estimate, not a tax return.
Money you put into a Traditional 401(k), 403(b) or HSA, or pay for employer health premiums, comes out of your taxable income before the brackets apply. A 401(k) deferral still owes the 7.65% Social Security and Medicare tax. Health premiums and HSA contributions taken through payroll skip both income tax and FICA.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between my marginal and effective tax rate?
Your marginal rate is the tax on the next dollar you earn, which is your top bracket. Your effective rate is your total federal, FICA, state and local tax divided by your gross income, so it shows what share of your pay actually goes to tax.
How are Social Security and Medicare (FICA) taxes figured for 2026?
Employees pay 6.2% Social Security tax on wages up to $184,500, which tops out at $11,439 a year, plus 1.45% Medicare tax on all wages with no cap. Wages above $200,000 ($250,000 for Married Filing Jointly) owe an extra 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax.
Which states have no income tax?
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming do not tax wages. Washington does tax large long-term capital gains.
