Where people go wrong

  • Treating the marginal bracket as the effective rate on all income.
  • Forgetting that 401(k) and health premiums reduce taxable income.
  • Dividing annual tax by 12 when biweekly pay has 26 periods.

FAQ

Why is this different from my pay stub?

This uses flat rates; a real paycheck also includes wage-base caps, credits, additional taxes and local rules.

Should I enter marginal or effective tax?

Enter your expected average or effective rate; the top marginal rate will understate take-home pay.
