How we treat assumptions
These calculators estimate take-home pay using federal income tax brackets, state income tax brackets or flat rates (where applicable), and FICA (Social Security and Medicare, including the Additional Medicare Tax where applicable). Estimates assume a single state of work and residence and a baseline filing setup. Confirm final amounts against your pay stub and withholding elections.
Each tax year refresh is configuration-driven so updated IRS/SSA and state tables can be applied without rewriting calculation logic.
