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.

IRS figures are inflation-adjusted every year. This data must be re-verified against irs.gov before each new tax year — do not assume it still applies after 2026. Federal income tax + FICA (Social Security and Medicare) only. Does NOT include state income tax (varies by state, some have none), local taxes, or any credits beyond the standard deduction. Married Filing Separately brackets are derived by halving the official Married Filing Jointly thresholds — a documented, consistent structural rule under the current tax code, confirmed against the IRS's own published MFS/MFJ tables. Additional Medicare Tax threshold varies by filing status ($200,000 Single/Head of Household, $250,000 Married Filing Jointly, $125,000 Married Filing Separately), which is why FICA levies live inside each status's own config rather than at the system level. This is an educational estimate, not tax advice or a substitute for a tax professional.
