FAQ
How these estimates work and why they can differ from your actual paycheck.
Assumptions & caveats. Federal income tax uses 2024 IRS brackets and standard deductions. State tax is one flat rate per state, and local taxes are not included. Some pre‑tax benefits (Roth 401(k), HSA, etc.) and some credits are not modeled. Filing status changes the standard deduction and the Additional Medicare threshold. The child tax credit and exemptions are simplified (no phase‑outs or refundability).
This is an educational estimate, not tax advice. Your employer's actual withholding follows IRS Publication 15‑T and your W‑4, so your paycheck can differ. For precise payroll withholding, consult official tables or a payroll professional.
