How your take-home pay is calculated
- Start with gross pay and subtract pre-tax 401(k) contributions and health premiums.
- Subtract the $16,100 standard deduction (single) to get federal taxable income, then apply the 2026 brackets and any child tax credit.
- Work out Social Security and Medicare on your wages (pre-tax health premiums are excluded; 401(k) contributions are not).
- Apply your state’s income tax rules and any state payroll contributions.
- Take-home pay is gross pay minus all taxes and deductions. We divide it by your pay period, using your hours and weeks for weekly, daily and hourly figures.
