This calculator provides estimates for educational purposes only. Results are based on the inputs you provide and standard financial formulas. They do not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Consult a qualified professional before making financial decisions.
Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) are all withheld from every paycheck, along with any pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions or health insurance premiums.
Social Security tax only applies up to a wage cap ($176,100 for 2025) — income above that isn't subject to the 6.2% Social Security tax, though Medicare tax has no cap.
An extra 0.9% Medicare tax applies to wages above $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married filing jointly), on top of the standard 1.45% Medicare tax that applies to all wages.
No — only federal income tax and FICA (Social Security + Medicare) are included. State and local income taxes vary too much by location to include generically here.
