How this paycheck calculator works
Enter your annual salary or hourly rate, select how often you are paid, and choose your state and filing status. Selvox annualizes the income, applies an estimated standard deduction, calculates progressive federal income tax, and estimates Social Security, Medicare and state income tax.
What is included in the estimate?
The result includes estimated federal income tax, the employee portion of Social Security and Medicare, a simplified state-tax estimate and any deductions you enter. It then shows the estimated amount left per paycheck and across the year.
Why can my actual paycheck be different?
Payroll withholding depends on the details submitted on your Form W-4, employer benefits, local taxes, tax credits, multiple jobs, bonuses and state-specific forms. Use this tool for planning, then compare the result with your pay stub or payroll department.
