Your annual take-home pay is one number, but what actually hits your account depends on how often you're paid. This calculator applies real tax brackets, then breaks the result down per paycheck.
Monthly, semi-monthly (twice a month), biweekly (every two weeks), and weekly are the most common schedules — biweekly and semi-monthly are easy to confuse but produce different amounts.
Real paychecks also reflect payroll taxes, benefit elections, and any state/provincial-specific rules not covered here — see this country's disclaimer for exactly what's excluded.
