This paycheck calculator provides a detailed breakdown of a single pay period by accounting for all major payroll deductions in the correct order: pre-tax deductions first (401(k) contributions, health insurance premiums, and HSA contributions) which reduce your taxable income, then federal income tax withholding using progressive brackets after the standard deduction, followed by state income tax as a flat rate, and finally FICA taxes (6.2% Social Security capped at the annual wage base and 1.45% Medicare plus 0.9% additional Medicare tax on earnings above $200,000 for single filers). The result is the actual net pay deposited into your account for a given pay period. The calculator supports four pay frequencies (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly) to match your actual pay schedule. Use this calculator to verify your paycheck is correct, to plan a budget around your actual take-home pay, to compare job offers with different benefit packages, or to see how increasing 401(k) or HSA contributions affects your net pay versus the tax savings. Key limitations include using only the standard deduction (no itemized deductions), flat-rate state tax (no graduated brackets), no local or city taxes, no garnishments or wage attachments, and no accounting for employer-specific deductions or benefit structures.
Result: For a $60,000 annual salary paid biweekly (24 pay periods), each paycheck is $2,500 gross. Federal withholding: ~$265. State withholding: ~$125. FICA: ~$191. 401(k) contribution: $150. Net pay per paycheck: approximately $1,769.
