How we calculate
  • Estimates only — not tax, legal, or payroll advice.
  • Federal tax uses simplified annualization + 2026 brackets/standard deduction (not full IRS Pub 15-T withholding).
  • Traditional 401(k) reduces income tax only; HSA/§125 also reduces FICA. Roth is post-tax.
  • State tax model: none. See docs/TAX_SOURCES.md.
  • FICA uses 2026 Social Security wage base $184,500.
  • Tables last reviewed: 2026-07-22.
