Frequently Asked Questions

How does the paycheck calculator work?
We apply 2025 IRS federal tax brackets (10%–37%) to your annual income, add FICA (6.2% Social Security up to $168,600 + 1.45% Medicare), and apply your state's effective income tax rate. The total is divided by your pay frequency to give you per-paycheck figures.
Does the calculator account for the standard deduction?
Yes. For single filers in 2025, we apply the $14,600 standard deduction before computing federal income tax brackets, matching IRS Publication 15-T withholding methodology.
Why might my actual paycheck differ?
Your employer withholds taxes based on your W-4 elections, pre-tax deductions (401k, health insurance), and local/city taxes that vary by municipality. This calculator provides a close estimate; consult your HR department or a CPA for exact figures.
What is FICA?
FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act. It includes Social Security (6.2% on wages up to $168,600 in 2025) and Medicare (1.45% on all wages, plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000 for single filers).
Is this tool updated for 2025?
