    How It Works

    A salary calculator helps you understand your actual take-home pay by accounting for federal income tax, Social Security contributions, Medicare, and other deductions. This tool provides a comprehensive breakdown of your gross income versus net income, helping you budget effectively and make informed financial decisions.

    The calculator uses your gross salary (before any deductions) and applies standard tax rates and deductions to determine your net salary. Federal income tax rates vary based on your income level and filing status, while Social Security and Medicare taxes are fixed percentages (collectively known as FICA taxes at 7.65% for employees).

    Understanding your net income is crucial for budgeting, comparing job offers, planning major purchases, and determining how much you can afford to save or invest each month. The difference between gross and net pay can be substantial, often 20-30% or more depending on your income level and location.
