How to use it
A quick estimate, without the spreadsheet.
Inputs and units
Enter gross pay for one pay period, effective withholding percentages and other deductions for that same period.
Formula
Taxes = gross × (federal% + state/local% + payroll%) / 100; net = gross − taxes − other deductions.
Worked example
$1,000 gross with a combined 20% withholding and $50 deductions leaves $750.
Assumptions and limitations
Uses flat percentages you supply. Does not apply tax brackets, W-4 settings, wage caps, filing status or pre-tax deduction rules. Defaults are illustrative.
For federal withholding, consult the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator.
