Frequently asked questions
What is take-home pay?
Take-home pay (net pay) is what is left after federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security, Medicare and any pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) and health insurance are taken out of your gross pay.
How is this different from the main paycheck calculator?
It is the same calculation — this page is the plain take-home version, so you can find it directly. Pick your state below; every state page on this site runs the same 2026 math.
Why does my take-home pay differ from my pay stub?
Your employer may withhold differently (allowances, extra withholding, bonuses, overtime), and local taxes, garnishments, union dues and other deductions are not included here. Use this as a planning estimate, not a pay-stub replacement.
Which states have no income tax?
Nine states tax no wages: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. Pick one of those states below and the state tax line will be $0.
