What the estimate includes

THE FINE PRINT

PaystubLedger uses 2026 federal brackets and the basic standard deduction, employee Social Security and Medicare rates, and the selected state’s sourced tax rule. The calculator assumes one job and steady pay through the year.

Actual checks depend on Form W-4, pretax benefits, state forms, credits, employer payroll methods, local taxes and timing. Read the full methodology before using an estimate for a financial decision.
