How US paycheck withholding is calculated

Your take-home pay equals gross compensation minus three distinct statutory layers: (1) Federal Income Tax applied progressively to your Adjusted Gross Income minus the 2026 IRS Standard Deduction ($15,000 single / $30,000 married filing jointly), (2) FICA Payroll Taxes (6.2% Social Security up to $176,100 plus 1.45% Medicare and 0.9% Additional Medicare above $200,000), and (3) State Income Tax based on your resident state's brackets. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions reduce federal and state taxable income dollar-for-dollar; see our full tax methodology.
