Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the US tax calculation?
Our calculator includes federal income tax (progressive brackets), FICA taxes (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%), state income tax (varies by state), and standard/personalized deductions. It provides an accurate estimate of your take-home pay.
How do tax brackets work in the US?
US federal income tax uses a progressive bracket system. Only income within each bracket is taxed at that rate. For example, if you earn $60,000 as a single filer in 2024, the first $11,600 is taxed at 10%, the next $35,550 at 12%, and the remainder at 22%. Your effective rate is lower than your top bracket.
What is the difference between gross and net pay?
Gross pay is your total income before taxes. Net pay (take-home pay) is what you receive after federal tax, state tax, FICA, and other deductions. Our calculator shows the complete breakdown so you understand exactly where your money goes.
