Methodology & sources
Take-home pay is calculated for a single filer claiming the standard deduction, using 2026 federal brackets (IRS), 2026 FICA rates (SSA), and 2026 state income tax rates and standard deductions/exemptions (Tax Foundation). Local income taxes, pre-tax benefits, and tax credits are excluded, so figures are estimates of state-level differences rather than individual tax advice. Figures are recomputed quarterly from the underlying data files.
- IRS — 2026 federal tax inflation adjustments
- SSA — 2026 Social Security wage base
- Tax Foundation — 2026 State Income Tax Rates and Brackets
