What Salaries.Finance Offers

Salary After Tax Calculator: Enter your gross salary and see exactly what you'll take home after federal and state taxes. Our calculator accounts for Social Security, Medicare, and state-specific withholdings so you can plan your budget around your actual paycheck, not your gross income.

Bonus Tax Calculator: Bonuses are often taxed at a higher withholding rate, which surprises many workers. Use this tool to see how much of your bonus you'll actually receive and understand why bonus withholding differs from regular paycheck withholding.

Raise Calculator: Considering a raise or new job offer? See how a salary increase translates to take-home pay after taxes. Sometimes a $10,000 raise doesn't mean $10,000 more in your pocket—this calculator shows you the real numbers.

Cost of Living Comparison: Moving to a new city? Compare how far your salary stretches in different locations. A $100,000 salary in San Francisco has very different purchasing power than the same salary in Austin or Denver.

How Our Estimates Work

Our calculators use the most recent federal tax brackets and state tax rates to estimate your take-home pay. The key inputs that affect your results include:

  • State of residence: State income tax rates vary widely—from 0% in states like Texas, Florida, and Washington, to over 13% in California for high earners.
  • Filing status: Whether you file as single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, or head of household affects your tax brackets and standard deduction.
  • Number of dependents: Claiming dependents can reduce your tax liability through credits like the Child Tax Credit.
  • Pre-tax deductions: Contributions to 401(k) plans, health insurance premiums, and HSA accounts reduce your taxable income.

We apply federal tax brackets progressively, meaning only the income within each bracket is taxed at that rate. State taxes are then calculated based on your specific state's rules. The result is an estimate of your net pay after all standard withholdings.

Important Information

These calculators provide estimates for informational purposes only. The results are not tax advice, financial advice, or legal advice. Your actual tax liability may differ based on deductions, credits, and circumstances that our calculators cannot account for.

Tax laws change frequently, and individual situations vary. For filing your taxes, we recommend using established tax preparation software or consulting with a certified public accountant (CPA) or enrolled agent who can review your complete financial picture.

Our tools are designed to help you make informed decisions when evaluating job offers, planning relocations, or understanding your paycheck—not to replace professional tax preparation. If you have questions about your specific tax situation, please consult a qualified tax professional.
