US Paycheck Calculators by State

Paycheck calculators help employees accurately estimate their take-home pay by accounting for the complex combination of federal taxes, state income taxes, FICA deductions (Social Security and Medicare), and other withholdings that vary significantly by location. Understanding your actual take-home pay—the amount that lands in your bank account after all deductions—is crucial for budgeting, financial planning, comparing job offers, and negotiating compensation. Our state-specific paycheck calculators incorporate each state's unique tax structure, filing requirements, and deduction rules to provide accurate estimates that reflect your real-world paychecks.

A California employee earning $75,000 annually faces federal taxes, FICA deductions, and California's progressive state income tax rates, resulting in a significantly different take-home amount than a Texas worker with the same salary but no state income tax. New York professionals must account for both state and city income taxes that further reduce their net pay, while Florida and Nevada employees only deal with federal taxes and FICA, making their take-home pay higher despite similar gross salaries. A Pennsylvania worker encounters a flat state income tax rate, creating different tax calculations compared to states with progressive tax brackets. Each state calculator incorporates these location-specific tax variations, helping you understand exactly how much money you'll actually receive and plan your finances accordingly.
