Calculator, 2026 example figures
Paycheck and employer cost calculator
Go from monthly gross pay to take-home pay, or from net to gross, and see the employer's total cost.
2026 examples. Figures, rates and dates on this page change by year; check current IRS and state guidance before you rely on them.
Enter monthly gross pay to see take-home pay, or enter January take-home pay to find the gross. The 12-month breakdown shows Social Security stopping once wages pass the annual wage base, so take-home pay can change during the year. The employer's monthly cost is shown as well.
Federal and state income tax withholding are entered here as flat percentages; real withholding follows each employee's Form W-4 and current tables. All figures are examples you can edit. The result does not replace payroll. The math runs in your browser.
