How it works
- Readers enter a salary, state, filing status and pay frequency, and see take-home pay per paycheck and per year, with federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, and state taxes.
- It uses the same 2026 IRS, SSA and state data as our take-home pay calculator. How we calculate is on the methodology page.
- The iframe has a
titlefor screen readers andloading="lazy", so it costs nothing until a reader scrolls to it. Width adapts up to 560 pixels; 600 pixels of height fits phones. - No analytics, ads or cookies inside the widget. Keep the "Powered by TaxWren" link; that is the only condition.

Frequently asked questions
Is the widget free?
Yes. Paste the code as it is and keep the "Powered by TaxWren" link visible. There is no sign-up and no key.
Does the widget track my visitors?
No. The embedded page loads no analytics, no ads, no cookies and no third-party scripts. The calculation runs in the visitor's browser and nothing typed into it is sent anywhere.
Will it stay up to date?
Yes. The widget reads the same tax data as our calculators, so it switches to the new federal and state figures when we publish a new tax year. You never need to change the code.
Can I preselect a state or salary?
Add ?state= with a two-letter code (for example CA) and &salary= with a yearly amount to the iframe address. The generator above does it for you.
