How Take-Home Pay Is Calculated

Your take-home pay (net pay) is what remains after subtracting taxes and deductions from your gross salary:

Take-Home Pay = Gross Salary − Federal Tax − State Tax − FICA − Deductions

Federal Income Tax uses progressive tax brackets. This calculator applies the 2024 US federal brackets for Single, Married Filing Jointly, and Head of Household statuses.

FICA taxes include Social Security (6.2% up to $168,600) and Medicare (1.45% with no cap). An additional 0.9% Medicare surtax applies to earnings above $200,000.

Pre-tax deductions like 401(k) and HSA contributions reduce your taxable income, lowering your overall tax burden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Take-home pay (also called net pay) is the amount you actually receive in your paycheck after all taxes and deductions are subtracted from your gross salary.

Common deductions include federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%). Some states have no income tax, and additional local taxes may apply.

Pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions and HSA reduce your taxable income. While they lower your paycheck, they reduce the taxes you owe, so the net effect on take-home pay is smaller than the deduction amount.

This provides a reasonable estimate based on federal tax brackets and flat state tax rates. Actual take-home pay may vary due to local taxes, specific deductions, credits, and other factors. Consult a tax professional for precise figures.
