How it's calculated
Net = Gross − 401(k) − FederalTax(taxable) − FICA − StateTax; taxable = Gross − 401(k) − StandardDeduction
$75k gross, single, 5% 401(k), 5% state: taxable ≈ $56,250; net ≈ $56k/yr ≈ $2,150 bi-weekly.
Common questions
Which tax year is this?
Uses 2025 IRS brackets, standard deductions, and the $176,100 Social Security wage base — a close approximation for 2026 until final numbers publish.
Does it include health insurance or HSA?
No — those vary by employer. Subtract them from your gross before entering it, or fold them into the 401(k) percentage as a rough proxy.
