Take-Home Pay Calculator (US)
Take-home pay (net pay) is gross salary minus all deductions: federal income tax, FICA (Social Security + Medicare), state income tax, and voluntary deductions (401k, health insurance). The effective tax rate is often much lower than the marginal rate.
💡
Tip: Maximize pre-tax contributions (401k, HSA, FSA) to reduce taxable income. Contributing $23,000 to a 401k saves $5,060 in federal taxes alone at the 22% bracket.
