Paycheck Calculator 2026

How these paycheck calculators work

Each calculator estimates net pay by applying current federal income tax brackets, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) to the gross pay you enter, then adding your state's income tax. States like Texas, Florida, and Washington have no state income tax, while others range from a low flat rate to a progressive tax over 10%. Results are estimates — inside Gusto, these calculations run automatically and exactly on every payroll, in all 50 states.
