Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Paycheck Calculator?
The Paycheck Calculator is a free online tool that estimate us take-home pay with federal, state, fica, 401(k), hsa, and health insurance deductions across weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly pay periods.. It runs entirely in your browser with no installation or sign-up needed.
How accurate is the estimate?
It is a close estimate based on your entered federal/state rates and fixed FICA (SS 6.2%, Medicare 1.45%). Actual withholding varies with W-4, local tax, and state rules.
Does it handle the Social Security cap?
Yes — SS tax applies only to wages up to the 2024 base of $168,600. Medicare has no cap, with an extra 0.9% surtax above $200,000.
How do 401(k), HSA, and health insurance affect pay?
401(k) reduces income tax only (still FICA-taxed). HSA and Section-125 health premiums reduce both income tax AND FICA wages, so they save more per dollar.
