The gap between your salary and what lands in your bank account can be surprising. Between federal and state income taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and retirement contributions, a significant portion of your gross pay goes to deductions. This calculator helps you understand the breakdown so you can plan your budget around your actual take-home pay.
Your gross pay is reduced by federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and any pre-tax deductions like retirement contributions and health insurance. These can easily take 25-40% of your gross pay depending on your income and location.
Traditional 401(k) contributions are pre-tax, meaning they reduce your taxable income. A 6% contribution on a $75,000 salary saves $4,500 from taxes while only reducing your take-home pay by about $3,400 (since you'd have paid taxes on that money anyway).
This calculator provides a close estimate using current federal tax brackets and FICA rates. Actual paycheck amounts may vary due to local taxes, pre-tax benefits (health insurance, HSA), post-tax deductions, and your specific W-4 withholding elections.
