The IRS uses a progressive bracket system. Your income is split across brackets, you only pay a higher marginal rate on dollars above each threshold. This calculator applies the 2026 inflation-adjusted brackets to your taxable income (gross minus pre-tax deductions and standard deduction).
FICA = Social Security (6.2% on wages up to $176,100 in 2026) + Medicare (1.45% on all wages, plus 0.9% surtax above $200k single / $250k joint). Your employer matches the base rates.
Nine states have no state income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. If you selected one of these, your state line will be zero.
