About Payroll Calculator

Payroll Calculator (payrollcalculator.net) offers free US payroll calculators and plain-English explanations of how the figures are worked out. There is no account to create, and each calculator shows the assumptions behind its result.

Results are planning estimates only and are not financial or tax advice. Your actual pay, withholding and tax can differ. For decisions about your own situation, speak to your employer’s payroll team or a qualified tax professional.

How we work out the numbers

  • Calculators use published government rates and thresholds, such as IRS and Social Security Administration figures, and state where they were checked and for which tax year.
  • Each calculator explains what it includes and what it leaves out. Read those notes before relying on a result.
  • Figures are annual estimates shown in equivalent pay periods. Real paychecks depend on W-4 elections, payroll timing, benefits and rounding.
