How this calculator works

Estimate your take-home pay per paycheck after taxes and deductions. Free paycheck calculator with instant net pay results as you type.

For a work shift with clock-in and clock-out times, use the punch-clock calculator to subtract an unpaid break and estimate hours and gross pay.

Formula

Net pay = gross − gross × (federal rate + state rate + Social Security rate + Medicare rate).

Worked example

$50,000 gross with 12% federal, 5% state, 6.2% Social Security, and 1.45% Medicare. Deductions are $6,000 + $2,500 + $3,100 + $725 = $12,325, so net pay is $37,675.

Notes
