NetPayMeter helps U.S. workers answer one simple question: "How much will I actually take home?"
Your salary or hourly rate is not what lands in your bank account. Federal tax, Social Security, Medicare, state tax and local taxes all come out first, and the rules change by state and by year. We built NetPayMeter to make those numbers clear in seconds, without sign-ups and without jargon.
What we offer
- Paycheck calculators for all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
- Hourly, salary, overtime, federal income tax and tax refund calculators
- Plain-English guides that explain every line on your pay stub
How we keep it accurate Every calculator uses official data from the IRS, the Social Security Administration and each state's revenue department. We review all rates at the start of every tax year and whenever a new law changes them. Read our full Methodology & Sources.
Who's behind NetPayMeter NetPayMeter is run by the NetPayMeter team. Every rate in our calculators is checked against the official IRS, Social Security Administration and state tax agency sources listed on our methodology page.
