Calculate your take-home pay after federal tax, state tax, FICA, and 401(k) contributions. See monthly and annual net income instantly.
Your gross salary is not what you take home. Between federal income tax, FICA (Social Security + Medicare), state income tax, and benefit deductions, your take-home pay is typically 20-35% less than your salary. This calculator shows exactly where every dollar goes.

This salary after tax calculator estimates your net take-home pay by accounting for four major layers of payroll reduction: federal income tax using progressive brackets, state income tax as a flat rate on taxable income, FICA taxes (6.2% Social Security up to the wage base cap and 1.45% Medicare on all earnings plus a 0.9% additional Medicare tax on income above $200,000), and pre-tax 401(k) retirement contributions which reduce your taxable income dollar-for-dollar. The calculator applies federal tax to your taxable income (gross salary minus the standard deduction and 401(k) contributions), then layers in state tax and FICA. Use this calculator to understand your true monthly cash flow, compare job offers on an after-tax basis, evaluate the real cost of a raise, or plan a budget around your actual take-home pay. Key limitations include simplified flat-rate state tax assumptions, no handling of local/city taxes, no accounting for tax credits or phase-outs, and no deduction for HSA contributions, health insurance premiums, or other voluntary payroll deductions that further reduce take-home pay in practice.
Result: A single filer earning $75,000/year in a state with 5% income tax, contributing 6% to a 401(k), takes home approximately $4,760/month ($57,120/year). Federal tax: ~$9,200, State tax: ~$3,100, FICA: ~$5,738, 401(k): $4,500. Effective tax rate: ~23.8%.
