Student ProjectHi! I'm a student developer building Calculat in my spare time. I was tired of searching for basic math tools and having to click through 10 spammy popups, loan ads, and cookie trackers.
I keep this website 100% free, private, and ad-free. If this helped you with your homework, project, or finances today, bookmarking this page or telling a friend helps me keep building more free tools!
The US Salary Tax Calculator calculates comprehensive annual income taxes across federal tax tiers, accounting for statutory standard deductions, Social Security limits, and Medicare surtaxes.
\text{Taxable Income} = \max(0, \text{Gross Salary} - \text{Standard Deduction} - \text{Pre-Tax Deductions})Standard deduction for 2025 is $15,000 for Single, $30,000 for Married Filing Jointly, and $22,500 for Head of Household.
Scenario: Single filer earning an $85,000 annual salary.
Gross Salary: $85,000.
Standard Deduction: $15,000 -> Taxable Income: $70,000.
Federal Tax: $10,314.
FICA: $6,502.50.
Net Take-Home Salary: $68,183.50 annually ($5,682/month).
For the 2025 tax year, the standard deduction is $15,000 for single filers, $30,000 for married filing jointly, and $22,500 for head of household.
The top marginal federal income tax bracket is 37%, applying to taxable income over $626,350 for single filers.
W-2 employees split FICA with their employer (7.65% each). Self-employed individuals pay the full 15.3% self-employment tax, though half is deductible.
No. Because the US uses marginal tax brackets, higher tax rates only apply to the dollars earned inside the higher bracket, never to your entire salary.
