Estimates only. PaycheckByState results are approximations. Your employer’s payroll system, your actual W-4 and your final tax return determine what you really pay.

Not professional advice

Nothing on this site is tax, legal, accounting, investment or financial advice. We are not a licensed tax preparer, accountant, attorney or financial advisor. For advice about your situation, consult a qualified professional.

Why your paycheck may differ

Employers can use different withholding methods and rounding.
Your W-4, state withholding form, benefits, garnishments, bonuses and other pay affect the result.
Some state and local rules (phase-outs, special credits, city taxes) are not fully modelled, and the calculator tells you when that applies.
Tax law changes; figures reflect the tax year and review date shown on each page.

Sources

We rely on IRS publications, state revenue departments, the U.S. Department of Labor and reputable secondary sources, each linked on the relevant page. Where we could not confirm a figure directly with the official source, we say so in our methodology.

No liability

We are not responsible for any loss resulting from reliance on our results. See the Terms of Use.
