All Paycheck Calculators
Fourteen tools built on one tax engine, so a rate change in January is fixed once rather than fourteen times.
Every calculator on this site runs the same code: the IRS percentage method against 2026 federal brackets, FICA with the $184,500 Social Security wage base, and each state own withholding rules from its revenue department guide. What changes between pages is what is already filled in and what the surrounding page explains.
If you are not sure which one you want, start with the main paycheck calculator. It has every input the others have, and nothing pre-selected. The specialist pages are useful when you want the arithmetic and the explanation for one specific situation: a bonus withheld at the flat supplemental rate, a 401(k) increase, an overtime week, or a timesheet with unpaid lunch breaks.
Two of these are not tax calculators at all. The work hours calculator and the timesheet calculator total a week from clock-in and clock-out times with breaks deducted, and the two conversion tools move between an annual salary and an hourly rate on gross figures. They exist because the question people ask before they ask about tax is usually how many hours they worked.
Paycheck
The core tools. Same engine, different starting point: a pay frequency already selected, an hourly rate rather than a salary, or a results-first layout.
Convert
Gross conversions with no tax applied, for comparing an offer quoted one way against a budget built another.
Hours
Hours first, pay second. Total a week from clock times, deduct unpaid breaks, then carry the hours into the paycheck calculator.
Tax
The two situations where withholding stops being straightforward: a bonus, and a retirement contribution.

These figures are estimates for informational purposes and are not tax advice. Actual withholding depends on your employer’s payroll system, your year-to-date wages and your specific W-4. Federal rates come from IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32 and the SSA 2026 announcement; state rates come from each state’s own withholding guide, with the source and verification date published on every state page.
