Estimates only

Every calculator on PaycheckNews produces estimates for general education and planning only. Results are not tax, payroll, financial, or legal advice, and they are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your situation.

Why your real paycheck may differ

Our calculators use widely published formulas and tax tables (including IRS, state FTB and EDD figures) at the time each page is written. An actual paycheck can differ because of factors a simple calculator cannot see: your exact withholding elections, pre-tax deductions, garnishments, local taxes, employer payroll practices, pay-period timing, and mid-year changes to tax law or rates.

No guarantees

We work to keep every formula and figure accurate and current, but we make no guarantee that any result is complete, current, or correct for your circumstances. When a number matters — a job offer, a loan, a tax filing — confirm it with your employer's payroll department or a qualified tax or financial professional.

External information

Tax rules change. Figures on this site reflect the tables available when each page was last updated; always check the relevant government source (such as irs.gov or your state tax agency) for the latest official figures.
