Understanding Payroll Taxes

Federal income tax is calculated using 2024 tax brackets based on your filing status and allowances. The amount withheld depends on your annual income and tax situation.

FICA taxes include Social Security (6.2% up to $160,200) and Medicare (1.45% on all income). High earners pay an additional 0.9% Medicare tax on income over $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married).

State income tax varies by state. Some states have no income tax, while others have rates ranging from 3% to over 10%. This calculator includes major states with simplified calculations.
