How to work out your take-home pay
Step 1 · Enter your gross salary
Enter your annual gross salary (before any taxes or deductions) in the calculator above. For example, $65,000/year gross.
Step 2 · Subtract federal income tax
The IRS applies 2026 brackets (10%–37%) to your taxable income (gross minus $16,100 standard deduction for single filers). On $65,000, federal income tax is approximately $5,620.
Step 3 · Subtract FICA taxes
Social Security: 6.2% on the first $184,500 = $4,030. Medicare: 1.45% on all wages = $943. Total FICA: $4,973.
Step 4 · Calculate net take-home
$65,000 gross − $5,620 federal − $4,973 FICA − $5,688 state = $48,720/year, or $4,060/month.
