How take-home pay is calculated

Your take-home pay is your gross salary minus federal income tax, FICA taxes, and state income tax. This calculator uses 2024 IRS tax brackets for single filers. The results are estimates β€” your actual paycheck will vary based on filing status, pre-tax deductions (401k, health insurance), and local city taxes.
