What does this calculator show?+
It shows your remaining pay after applying a specific deduction percentage to your gross pay, such as for taxes, insurance premiums, or retirement contributions, giving you a simplified estimate of take-home pay after that single deduction.
How is this different from a full paycheck calculation?+
A full paycheck calculation typically applies multiple separate deductions (federal tax, local tax, insurance, retirement, etc.), each with its own rules, while this calculator applies one overall percentage as a simplified stand-in for one or more of those deductions combined.
Should I use my marginal tax rate or effective tax rate as the deduction percentage?+
For a rough estimate, your effective tax rate is generally a more accurate stand-in since it already represents your average tax burden, while your marginal rate would overstate the actual deduction unless you're specifically estimating the tax impact on one additional dollar or paycheck.
Can I use this for deductions other than taxes?+
Yes, the calculation works the same way for any percentage-based deduction, such as a retirement contribution rate or an insurance premium calculated as a percentage of pay — simply enter the relevant percentage for the deduction you're modeling.
Why might my actual pay stub show a different amount than this estimate?+
Real paychecks often combine several deductions, some flat-dollar and some percentage-based, and some calculated on different bases (pre-tax versus post-tax), which this single-percentage model simplifies into one estimate rather than replicating exactly.
