How we calculate this

Yearly pay = hourly rate × 40 hours × 52 weeks; a month is a twelfth of the year. Taxes use the same engine as our take-home pay calculator: 2026 federal brackets, FICA and each state's income tax. Overtime pay and pre-tax deductions such as a 401(k) or health insurance are not included. Sources: IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32, Tax Foundation, State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets.
