About the United States Payroll Calculator
What does the United States payroll calculator include?
The calculator covers gross-to-net salary, income tax using the current United States tax brackets, employee social security contributions, employer social security, total employer cost, and effective tax rates. Results are available as both monthly and annual figures.
How accurate are the tax rates?
Rates are sourced from official government publications and updated for the current tax year (2026). For individual tax planning or payroll processing, always confirm with a qualified United States payroll professional or tax adviser.
What is total employer cost?
Total employer cost is the full amount an employer pays to employ someone — it is the gross salary plus employer-side social security and payroll tax contributions. This is the real cost of a hire and is often significantly higher than the gross salary figure alone.
