Methodology

How this estimate works

Annual gross minus pre-tax 401(k)/health contributions minus the standard deduction is taxed through the 2026 federal single-filer brackets. Social Security takes 6.2% of gross wages up to $184,500; Medicare takes 1.45% of all wages (0.9% additional above $200,000 single). Everything divides by your pay frequency.
