How net pay is estimated

  • Gross vs net: gross is your salary before taxes; net is what hits your bank account.
  • Effective tax: most middle-income US workers see 17–30% deducted in total — use 25% as a reasonable default.
  • This tool is simplified: real paychecks depend on filing status, state, pre-tax 401(k) contributions and more.
Estimate only: Estimate only — use your actual pay stub or IRS withholding calculator for exact numbers.
