PAYCHECK CALCULATOR AND TAKE-HOME PAY
This take home pay calculator and in hand salary calculator estimates net pay from gross pay for salary or hourly wage. It works as a paycheck tax calculator and a gross to net calculator for all 50 US states.

SALARY CALCULATOR AND IN-HAND SALARY
Enter gross pay, pay frequency, filing status, and state. The salary calculator app estimates in-hand salary (take-home pay) after federal tax, FICA, and state tax. Use it as a monthly salary calculator, weekly paycheck calculator, or annual income calculator. Comparing a job offer? Run it twice and compare estimated net pay.

WAGE CALCULATOR AND HOURLY PAYCHECK
Switch to hourly for a wage calculator, hourly paycheck calculator, hourly pay calculator, and hourly rate calculator. Enter hourly wage and hours per week (for example 40). The wage calculator app estimates take-home pay from that week. It is not a time card, timesheet, or work hours tracker.
