PayCheckly is a free, independent website that estimates take-home pay for employees in every US state and the District of Columbia. Our goal is simple: show clearly where your money goes before it reaches your bank account.
What we do
- Apply 2026 federal brackets, the standard deduction and FICA rules from IRS and SSA publications.
- Check every state's rates and deductions against its own tax authority, and document the source on each state page.
- Run every calculation in your browser. We do not ask for or store your salary.
What we don't do
We do not sell financial products, and we do not give personalized tax advice. Results are estimates; see the disclaimer.
Corrections
Tax rules change often. If you spot an error, please let us know via the contact page. We review reports and document changes in our methodology.
