Paycheck Calculator by State (2026)
Compare modeled annual federal and state income-tax liability and employee payroll taxes across all 50 states plus DC. Each state tool can apportion the annual estimate across a selected number of periods; it does not reproduce employer withholding.
Paid by the hour? Use the hourly annual estimates instead — or run any state through the take-home pay calculator.
State income tax and annual take-home, side by side
Every state at a glance: how it taxes wages, and what a $75,000 salary nets after 2026 federal tax, state income tax and FICA (single filer, no 401(k)).
Planning estimates use the current interim tax data and exclude local taxes, credits, full Form W-4 details and several state payroll programs. They are not exact payroll figures.
- This is an annual federal and state income-tax liability estimate apportioned across the period you choose. It is not employer payroll withholding.
- It does not collect Form W-4 steps, pay date, year-to-date pay or withholding, residence/work-state interaction, or local tax.
- State schedules are an interim planning model. Filing combinations without a sourced schedule are unavailable rather than silently approximated.
