Benefits of Using a Payroll Calculator

Employers can use a payroll tax estimator to calculate federal, state and local income tax withholding for an employee. A payroll taxes calculator can also help estimate paycheck deductions for benefits like health insurance and retirement plans.

Employees can use a payroll calculator to estimate their take-home pay. They can also test how different pay rates, deductions and dependents affect their net pay.  

You can also use a pay calculator to help you answer questions about your finances.

How do you calculate take-home pay?

A paycheck calculator allows you to quickly calculate take-home pay.

Generally, you can calculate your take-home—or net pay—in these steps:  

  • determine your taxable income by deducting pre-tax contributions, such as retirement plan contributions, from your gross pay
  • subtract all applicable federal, state and local income taxes
  • deduct post-tax contributions for items like healthcare
  • minus any additional withholdings, such as wage garnishments

How much tax is taken out of a paycheck?

Calculating how much tax is taken out of a paycheck differs for everyone.

Several factors affect paycheck tax deductions. This includes a person’s earnings, their federal filing status and state income tax rate. The number of allowances they claim is also important.

You can use a salary or hourly take home calculator to find out how much tax might be taken out of a paycheck.

Or to determine an estimated percentage of taxes deducted from your check:  

  • Review current income tax brackets to calculate federal income tax.  
  • Calculate Social Security and Medicare (FICA) taxes.  
  • Determine if state income and local income tax apply.
  • Divide the sum of all taxes by your gross pay.

How do you calculate annual income?

Very generally, to find the annual salary, multiply the gross pay from one paycheck by the number of pay periods in a year. Gross pay is the amount before taxes.

For example, if you earn $2,000 every other week before taxes your calculation would be:

$2,000 every two weeks x 26 pay periods for a total salary of $52,000.
