How paycheck estimates work

Gross pay is only the starting point

Your paycheck estimate depends on gross earnings, pre-tax deductions, estimated taxes, and post-tax deductions. Small changes in tax rates or deductions can noticeably change take-home pay.

Gross Pay

Salary per period or hourly earnings including overtime

Estimated Taxes

Taxable Pay × Combined Federal, State, and Local Tax Rate

Take-Home Pay

Gross Pay − Taxes − Pre-Tax Deductions − Post-Tax Deductions
