Gross pay and take-home pay are not the same.

Taxes, withholding, and payroll deductions reduce what reaches your bank account. Use this as a planning tool, not a payroll replacement.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about how this estimate works and how to read your results.

How accurate is this paycheck calculator?

Paycheck Reality gives an educational estimate using federal tax assumptions, FICA, and a simplified state tax model. Actual paycheck results can differ based on withholding, benefits, local taxes, and employer payroll settings.

Does this include state taxes?

Yes. The calculator applies a simplified state income tax estimate based on the state you select, along with federal tax and FICA.

Does this include overtime?

Yes. If you enter overtime hours, the calculator estimates overtime pay at time-and-a-half for hourly workers.

Can I use this for salary?

Yes. Switch to annual salary and the calculator estimates weekly, monthly, and annual take-home pay using the same tax logic.

Does this replace payroll records?

No. This calculator is for planning and education. Use your payroll records for exact paycheck details.

Can I compare different states?

Yes. That is one of the main reasons this calculator exists — to show how the same income can change by state.

Why is take-home pay different from gross pay?

Take-home pay is lower because taxes, withholding, and other payroll deductions reduce the amount that reaches your bank account.
