Model every
paycheck.
Pick the scenario.

A precision paycheck calculator for US workers — with saved profiles so you can set up "Main job" next to "Acme offer" and see which net pay wins. Federal, state, FICA, and the quiet state-specials (CA SDI, NY PFL, NJ FLI) itemized by the local pay-cli engine.

job offer, side-by-side.

Duplicate a profile, change the state, change the rate — the calculator recomputes. Net pay deltas answer "is it actually a raise?" in two taps.

/ 03 · Every knob the engine exposes

A calculator that
respects the edge cases.

Every pay-cli input surfaced through a real UI — no hidden defaults, no rounded corners on your math.

01 · FEDERAL BRACKETS

Progressive brackets, every bracket.

Filing status drives the curve — single, married (joint), married filing separately, head of household, qualifying widow(er).

02 · STATES

All 50 states + DC, including the quiet ones.

State withholding tables and the named state-specials most calculators skip.

CA SDI NY PFL NJ FLI HI TDI PA LST WA Cares + more
03 · FICA

Wage-base aware.

SS caps at the annual wage base, Medicare adds the 0.9% surtax above statutory thresholds. Paste YTD FICA-taxable earnings for accurate mid-year truncation.

04 · W-4

Post-2020 and pre-2020.

Step 2(c) two-jobs, Step 3 credits, Step 4(c) extra withholding — or the legacy allowances form. State allowances are independent.

05 · DEDUCTIONS

401(k). HSA.
Garnishments.

Traditional 401(k)
Roth 401(k)
403(b) · 457(b)
SIMPLE IRA
HSA · FSA
Dependent care FSA
Child support
IRS levy
Creditor garnishment
Custom (with overrides)
06 · EXEMPTIONS & YTD

Per-tax exemption flags.

Toggle federal, state, SS, Medicare, or any state-special individually — clergy, ministers, NRAs. Store year-to-date FICA-taxable so mid-year numbers stay honest.

07 · NOT IN THE US?

Flat-% mode for anywhere.

Skip the W-4 drawer. Set a single reduction percentage per profile, keep income, period, overtime and additional-income — done.

/ 04 · Coverage

From Alabama to Wyoming — plus the District of Columbia. Every state's withholding tables, every state-special surfaced by name. No "coming soon" footnote.
