How It Works
The Paycheck Tax Calculator breaks down statutory deductions from your gross wages into three distinct categories: federal income tax withholding (IRS Pub 15-T), FICA taxes (6.2% Social Security up to $184,500 wage cap + 1.45% Medicare), and applicable state income and disability taxes.
Calculation Example
A biweekly gross pay of $3,200 in Texas (no state income tax) incurs approximately $325.00 in federal withholding, $198.40 in Social Security, and $46.40 in Medicare, leaving $2,630.20 in net pay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Statutory deductions are mandated by federal and state law (FICA, federal withholding, state withholding). Voluntary deductions are elected by the employee (401k, health dental insurance, charitable giving).
