How taxes affect your pay

Income & pay: FAQs

How do I calculate my take-home pay after taxes?

Start with gross income and subtract federal income tax, employee Social Security and Medicare, applicable state/local taxes, and other paycheck deductions. Under the site's standardized 2026 single-filer model, a $75,000 salary is about $61,593 after federal income tax and FICA in Texas or Florida and about $57,397 in California. Use the take-home pay calculator for a state-aware planning estimate.

What is the difference between gross income and net income?

Gross income is earnings before taxes and deductions. Net or take-home pay is what remains after applicable taxes and payroll deductions. See the gross vs net income guide for the terminology and examples.

Are bonuses and severance taxed differently?

They are generally wage income, but payroll withholding can follow supplemental-wage rules. Federal withholding may use an optional 22% method when the conditions are met, while state supplemental-wage rules vary. Final income-tax liability is based on your full annual return, not the withholding percentage alone.

How does hourly pay convert to annual salary?

Multiply hourly rate by paid hours per week and paid weeks per year. At 40 hours/week and 52 weeks, $20/hour equals $41,600 gross annually. Use the hourly to annual calculator for other schedules.

How does a pay raise affect my take-home pay?

A raise increases gross income. The amount you keep depends on the taxes and deductions that apply to the additional income. The pay raise calculator shows the gross increase across annual and pay-period amounts; use an effective-rate or take-home tool separately for a net planning estimate.

What is the difference between salary and hourly pay for taxes?

W-2 salary and hourly wages are generally both wage income subject to the same federal income-tax and payroll-tax framework. The practical differences are more often overtime eligibility, paid time off, schedule stability, and benefits. Use the salary vs hourly calculator for a broader compensation comparison.
