Hourly Paycheck Calculator

Our online paycheck calculator, which includes options for overtime and claimed tips, helps you estimate your net take-home pay after accounting for deductions and federal, state, and local income tax withholdings.

You can select from various pay periods such as weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual. Additionally, you can choose your filing status—single, married, or head of household.

Our calculator also features a built-in state income tax withholding table. Just select your state, and the calculator will automatically apply your state’s tax rate.

The default tax rates are based on the 2024 federal withholding tables (IRS Publication 15-T, Percentage Method Tables, pg 11), but you can also select prior years to compare.

For employers, our calculator includes a federal tax withholding feature that follows Worksheet 1 from the IRS’s Publication 15-T. This allows you to double-check your payroll calculations for accuracy.
