How This Calculator Works
This calculator estimates your take-home pay for each paycheck. It starts with your gross pay, subtracts pre-tax 401(k), health and HSA contributions, then takes out federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%) and your state income tax. It spreads your estimated tax for the year evenly across your paychecks, so the withholding on a real pay stub can differ a little.
Money that goes into a Traditional 401(k), a Health Savings Account (HSA) or employer medical and dental premiums comes out before federal and state income tax is figured. That lowers your tax bill, though your take-home pay still drops by the amount you set aside.
Frequently Asked Questions
In which state is take-home pay the highest?
On a $75,000 salary paid every two weeks, the states with no income tax leave the most, about $2,369 per paycheck. Oregon leaves the least, about $2,148, a difference of $5,733 a year.
What is the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly pay?
Bi-weekly pay comes every two weeks, so you get 26 paychecks a year and two months have three paychecks. Semi-monthly pay comes twice a month, so you get 24 slightly larger paychecks.
