About StatePaychecks

StatePaychecks shows how much of your pay reaches your bank account, state by state.

Each calculator shows a full pay stub, from gross pay through federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, state taxes and common deductions. Other calculators show how a raise, overtime, a bonus or a bigger 401(k) contribution changes your take-home pay.

What we cover

• Paycheck calculators for all 50 states and Washington, D.C., plus New York City's resident tax.
• Calculators for hourly pay, bonuses, overtime, raises, 401(k) contributions, gross-ups, self-employment tax, time cards and military pay.
• Reference pages for 2026 tax brackets, state income tax rates and minimum wages.

Where our numbers come from

Every figure comes from an official source, and each page lists its sources:

• Federal tax: IRS revenue procedures and Publication 15-T for brackets, the standard deduction and withholding; Publication 15 for bonus (supplemental) withholding.
• Social Security and Medicare: the Social Security Administration's yearly wage base.
• State taxes: each state revenue department's 2026 withholding guide or tax tables, including state disability and paid-leave deductions and flat bonus rates.
• Wages: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics) and the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.

Our full method, step by step, is on the methodology page.

How we keep it current

We update federal figures when the IRS and SSA publish the next year's numbers, and state figures when a state changes its rates or withholding rules, including mid-year changes. Each page shows the month it was last updated, and our sitemap records the date each page's content last changed. An automated check runs on every page before it goes live, looking for broken links and missing data.

Corrections

If a number looks wrong, email hello@statepaychecks.com with the page and the figure. We check it against the official source and fix confirmed errors quickly.

What we are not

We are not a payroll provider, tax preparer or financial advisor. Results are estimates for planning: your employer's withholding depends on your W-4, benefits and pay schedule, and your final tax is settled on your return. For decisions about your own taxes, check with a tax professional.

How the site is funded
