Pick a country to calculate take-home pay, the gross salary needed for a target net, or the full cost of employment. Each country has its own page with the rules, sources and tax year.

Defaults to your region. Switch to compare any other scale.

2026 annual estimate. Federal tax is the annual liability, not a W-4 withholding table. California and New York use the official 2026 state withholding schedules (EDD Method B with 1 allowance, or 2 if married, plus 1 per child; NYS-50-T-NYS with 0 allowances plus 1 per child), so the state's annual return may differ. They also include California SDI (1.3%) or New York disability (0.5%, max $31.20) and Paid Family Leave (0.432%, max $411.91). Other states are those without wage tax and flat-tax states verified for 2026. Local taxes such as New York City are not included.

Formula

  • Net = Gross − income tax − employee social contributions
  • Employer cost = Gross + employer contributions
  • Net → gross: solve Net(Gross) = target by bisection

How it is calculated

  1. Choose the country (each has its own page and tax year).
  2. Pick gross → net, net → gross or employer budget, then enter the amount per month or per year.
  3. Set personal options such as dependants, tax class, region or state.
  4. Read the step-by-step breakdown of every tax and contribution, plus the total employer cost.

Questions

Can I work out the gross salary from a net amount?

Yes. Choose “Net → gross”: the calculator searches for the gross salary whose deductions leave exactly your net amount, then shows the full breakdown. “Employer budget” does the same starting from the total cost.
