Estimate only — not tax advice or full tax software. 2026 federal brackets and a simplified state model. Locals other than optional NYC, CA SDI, and WA Cares are omitted. Confirm with your pay stub or a tax professional.

The calculator sample starts as a single filer. Change filing status above to see married or head-of-household take-home on this same wage. Numbers update as you type.

No state income tax on wages does not mean an empty stub. Federal income tax (Rev. Proc. 2025-32), Social Security up to $184,500, and Medicare still withhold. New Hampshire is listed because wages are not taxed; do not read that as a promise about every class of income.

Washington does not tax W-2 wages, but WA Cares is a separate employee premium the calculator can include when the state is Washington. Washington’s capital-gains tax is outside this wage engine.
