Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the PaycheckCalculator.fyi paycheck calculator?▾
PaycheckCalculator.fyi uses 2024 federal income tax brackets, the $168,600 Social Security wage base, the 1.45% Medicare rate plus the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax over $200,000, and a simplified flat-rate approximation for each state's income tax. It's a great quick estimate, but local taxes, credits, and itemized deductions are not included.
Which states are supported?▾
All 50 states plus DC. No-tax states (TX, FL, WA, NV, SD, WY, AK, TN, NH) correctly compute $0 state income tax.
Is my salary data saved or sent anywhere?▾
No. All calculations run entirely in your browser. Your inputs are never transmitted to a server. Share links encode your inputs directly into the URL.

Yes. Open the Compare page to view up to three scenarios side-by-side with deltas highlighted in green or red.
Can I download my paycheck breakdown as a PDF?▾
