Formula

Net = gross − pre-tax deductions − federal income tax − state tax − FICA. Divide by pay periods for per-check pay.

How it works

Your gross pay is reduced in a set order: pre-tax deductions like a 401(k) or health premium come out first and lower your taxable income, then federal income tax, state tax, and FICA are applied to what remains. What's left is your take-home pay.

Frequently asked questions

What is FICA?⌄

FICA is the payroll tax for Social Security and Medicare — 7.65% of wages for most employees, with your employer paying a matching share.

Why is my take-home so much less than my salary?⌄

Between federal and state income tax, FICA, and any pre-tax deductions, roughly 20-35% of gross pay is commonly withheld, depending on your income and state.

How can I change my take-home pay?⌄

Adjusting your W-4 changes federal withholding, and changing pre-tax deductions shifts your net check — though cutting 401(k) or HSA contributions also lowers your long-term savings and can raise your tax bill.

Sources & methodology

2025 federal rules, FICA, plus a flat state rate. Estimate only — not employer withholding tables.
