Tax Calculators

Nobody likes tax surprises. Whether you are a salaried employee trying to estimate your April liability, a freelancer setting aside quarterly estimated payments, or a small business owner planning for self-employment taxes, knowing your numbers ahead of time keeps you in control.

Use the federal tax estimator to get a ballpark of your income tax based on filing status, income, and deductions. The take-home pay calculator goes a step further by showing you what actually lands in your bank account after federal and state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and any pre-tax deductions are applied. If you work for yourself, the self-employment tax calculator breaks down the 15.3% SE tax (12.4% Social Security plus 2.9% Medicare) and shows how the deductible employer-equivalent portion reduces your adjusted gross income. These tools are designed for planning purposes and do not replace professional tax advice.
