How this calculator works

  • Estimate annual federal income tax (standard deduction model).
  • Social Security employee rate up to the wage base; Medicare on all wages plus Additional Medicare Tax above thresholds.
  • Divide annual net by pay periods for an approximate paycheck.

Net ≈ gross − federal income tax − SS − Medicare. SS wages capped at the wage base in the data file.
