How these calculators work

Tax calculators turn a confusing return into a clear estimate. Estimate your federal income tax using the latest brackets and standard deduction, convert an hourly wage into a full annual salary, see how much of each paycheck actually lands in your pocket, and understand how brackets apply only to income within each band. Knowing your real marginal and effective rate helps you plan and save. Every calculator in this category publishes its formula, worked example and assumptions so you can verify the math yourself.

Frequently asked questions

How do federal tax brackets work?

Brackets are marginal: only the income within each band is taxed at that band's rate. A higher bracket does not tax your whole income at the higher rate, which is why effective rates stay below marginal rates.

What is the standard deduction?

The standard deduction is a set amount that reduces your taxable income without itemizing. Most filers use it; the Federal Tax Calculator applies the current standard deduction automatically.

How do I convert hourly pay to salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours and by 52 weeks. The Hourly to Salary Calculator also accounts for paid time off to show the true annual figure.
