Taxes

Taxes

Your salary is not your paycheck. These tools use the official 2026 IRS brackets to estimate your federal income tax, your marginal and effective rates, and the amount that actually reaches your bank account after every deduction.

Federal Income Tax Calculator

Estimate your 2026 federal income tax: total tax, effective and marginal rates, and a bracket-by-bracket breakdown using official IRS figures.

Take-Home Pay Calculator

See your actual paycheck after federal tax, Social Security, Medicare, 401(k), health premiums, and state tax — per paycheck and per year (2026 figures).

Sales Tax Calculator

Add sales tax to any price in seconds. Enter the amount and your combined state + local rate to see the tax and the final total.

Self-Employment Tax Calculator

Freelancers pay both halves of Social Security and Medicare. Calculate your 2026 self-employment tax, the deductible half, and what to set aside each quarter.

Capital Gains Tax Calculator

Estimate the tax on an investment sale and what you keep — and compare the long-term rate against the far higher one that applies if you sell too soon.

Estimated Quarterly Tax Calculator

Work out what to send the IRS each quarter to stay penalty-free, using both the current-year and prior-year safe harbours and taking whichever is lower.

Bonus and RSU Tax Calculator

See what you actually keep from a bonus or a vesting RSU grant, and whether the flat 22% supplemental withholding leaves you owing more in April.

Social Security Tax Calculator

Find out how much of your Social Security benefit is taxable, using the provisional income formula and the thresholds that have not moved since 1984.

Standard vs Itemized Deduction Calculator

Add up your itemized deductions — mortgage interest, SALT up to the cap, charity — and see whether they beat the standard deduction and what itemizing actually saves.

Estate Tax Calculator

Estimate federal and state estate tax on an estate — the amount above the exemption taxed at 40% federally, plus state estate tax at much lower thresholds.
