Two questions a paycheck calculator cannot answer on its own.

How this calculator works

We annualise your salary or hourly wage, subtract pre-tax contributions (401(k), HSA) and the 2026 federal standard deduction, apply the 2026 federal tax brackets, then add Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% above $200,000). State income tax uses each state's own 2026 rules — flat rates, brackets, deductions, exemptions and credits, and the county income taxes of Maryland and Indiana, each sourced from the state's revenue department.

Every state page explains its own rules, shows worked examples and cites primary sources. Read the full methodology.
