Questions

How is take-home pay calculated?

Federal income tax on 2026 brackets after the standard deduction, FICA (6.2% Social Security up to the wage cap plus 1.45% Medicare, 0.9% extra above the high earners threshold), then state income tax where it exists.

Why show Texas as the baseline?

Texas has no state income tax, so those figures are the federal + FICA floor: $30,302 on $35,000, rising to $183,182 on $250,000. Any state with income tax lands below its own column.

Does a raise ever reduce my take-home?

No. Only the dollars above a bracket threshold are taxed at the higher rate, so take-home always rises β€” the guides section shows what each extra $1,000 actually adds.

Are pre-tax contributions included?

These pages assume no 401k or HSA contributions. The 401(k) calculator shows the effect of contributing a share of gross salary.
