## 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](/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](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rp-25-32.pdf), [Tax Foundation, State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets](https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/state-income-tax-rates-2026/).
