For Informational Purposes Only

All calculators, tools, and content on WageMath.net are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes financial advice, tax advice, legal advice, or any other form of professional advice. The information is not intended to be a substitute for professional tax preparation or consultation with a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Enrolled Agent, or other qualified tax professional.

Estimates Are Not Exact

Calculator results are estimates based on:

• Official IRS 2025 federal tax brackets and standard deduction amounts
• Approximate, calibrated state income tax effective rates (not full progressive state bracket calculations)
• Standard FICA rates (Social Security 6.2%, Medicare 1.45%)
• The assumption that you take the standard deduction (not itemized)
• No pre-tax deductions (401k, HSA, health insurance, FSA, etc.)
• No local city, county, or municipal income taxes
• No state-specific additional taxes (e.g., California SDI, New York SDI, New Jersey FLI)

Your actual take-home pay will differ based on your specific withholding elections (W-4), pre-tax benefits, employer-specific deductions, local taxes, and other individual factors.
