Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your net salary:

Net Salary = Gross Salary - Federal Taxes - State Taxes - Local Taxes - FICA Taxes

Where:

  • Federal Taxes are calculated based on the IRS progressive tax brackets
  • State Taxes vary by state and are calculated using the state's specific tax rates
  • Local Taxes include city, county, and other local deductions
  • FICA Taxes include Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%)

This is a simplified estimate. Actual tax deductions may vary based on your specific situation, deductions, and credits.
