Understanding Your Salary Calculation
Calculating your true take-home pay involves more than just subtracting taxes from your gross salary. Our salary calculator considers multiple factors to give you the most accurate estimate possible.
How Salary Calculation Works
Your net salary is calculated by subtracting taxes and other deductions from your gross income. The formula is simple:
Net Salary = Gross Salary - (Gross Salary × Tax Rate) - Other Deductions
Types of Deductions
Common deductions include federal and state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance premiums, retirement contributions, and other voluntary deductions.
Why Use a Salary Calculator?

Frequently Asked Questions About Salary Calculation
How accurate is this salary calculator?
Our calculator provides a close estimate of your take-home pay. For complete accuracy, consult with a tax professional as individual circumstances may vary.
What should I include in "other deductions"?
Include any pre-tax deductions like health insurance premiums, retirement contributions (401k, IRA), HSA contributions, and other voluntary deductions from your paycheck.
How do I determine my tax rate?
Your effective tax rate depends on your income level, filing status, and state of residence. You can estimate it by looking at your previous year's tax return or using online tax estimators.
Why is my take-home pay different from what's calculated?
Differences can occur due to varying state taxes, additional local taxes, specific deduction limits, or bonuses and overtime that affect your tax brackets.
Can I use this calculator for freelance income?
Yes, but remember that freelancers typically pay self-employment tax in addition to income tax, so you may want to use a slightly higher tax rate (add 7-10%).
