Net pay = gross salary minus federal income tax, FICA (Social Security 6.2% up to a wage-base limit + Medicare 1.45%), state tax, and pre-tax deductions like 401(k). This estimate uses 2024 US federal brackets and the 2024 Social Security wage base of $168,600. Actual paychecks vary with benefits, local taxes, and withholding allowances.
This is an estimate using federal brackets, FICA, and a state rate you provide. Local taxes, benefits, garnishments, and W-4 allowances change your actual withholding. Use your pay stub to calibrate.
