# Take-home pay calculator by state (2026)

Take-home is national federal tax plus a state line that is either no state income tax, a flat rate, or graduated brackets. This hub lists every jurisdiction we model so you can jump to /{state}-paycheck-calculator/ instead of hunting the sitemap.

Each state page uses the same 2026 federal engine (IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32) and the SSA $184,500 Social Security wage base. Only the state model changes. The calculator on this hub starts in California at $80,000 so you can preview one state before you pick another from the list.

Salary × state and hourly × state grids live on their own hubs. This page is the state-calculator index, not another $80k leaf.

Figures are estimates, reviewed August 24, 2026.
