Take-Home Pay & Hourly Wage Calculator

No. All calculations run in the browser on your device. The amounts you enter are never sent to or stored on a server.

11 countries: Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, China, South Korea, Brazil, Russia and Egypt. The country shown first follows the site's language. Choose another one with “Country” at the top.

Monthly hours = hours per day × days per week × 52 weeks ÷ 12 months, and monthly pay = hourly wage × monthly hours. For the United States, the starting hours are 8 a day, 5 days a week: about 173.3 hours a month, or 2,080 hours a year.

It depends on your pay, your state and your conditions. The ratio usually falls as income rises, because higher income is taxed at higher rates. “Take-home ratio” shows the ratio for the conditions you entered.

This tool works out the tax you owe for the full year, not what your employer withholds from each paycheck based on your W-4. If more is withheld than you owe, you get the difference back when you file. Health insurance and other pre-tax benefits, local taxes and other income are not included either. “Assumptions” below the results says what is and isn't included.

“Single” if you're not married. Married couples usually choose “Married filing jointly”; the tool then assumes this salary is the household's only income. “Head of household” is for unmarried people who pay more than half the cost of a home for a child or another qualifying person. The 2026 standard deduction is $16,100, $32,200 or $24,150, in that order.

Enter the number under “Children under 17”. Each child takes $2,200 off federal income tax in 2026. If the credit is more than your tax, up to $1,700 per child comes back when you file, shown as “Tax refund when you file”. The credit goes down by $50 for each $1,000 of income over $200,000 ($400,000 for married couples filing jointly).

Yes. Choose your state under “State you live in”. Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming have no income tax on wages. New York City is listed separately because it adds its own income tax, and Maryland includes a county tax of 3.2%. Other city or county income taxes are not included.

Choose a share under “401(k) contribution (% of pay)”. It is taken before income tax, up to $24,500 in 2026, so your income tax goes down. Social Security and Medicare still apply to it. Your take-home pay falls by less than the contribution. Your employer's match is not shown.

In 2026, Social Security is 6.2% of wages only up to $184,500 a year, so it stays the same above that. Medicare has no limit, and 0.9% more is taken on wages over $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly).

Each country uses its current rates, and the year is shown under “Estimated take-home pay”. For the United States it's 2026. A few states have not published all their 2026 amounts yet, so 2025 amounts are used there, as “Assumptions” says. When rates change, the tool will be updated.
