What it does

Estimate your federal income tax in seconds using 2024 US tax brackets for single, married-filing-jointly, and head-of-household filers. Add a state tax rate to see your total tax burden, effective tax rate, and take-home income — all calculated in your browser with no data leaving your device.

This is a simplified calculator suited for planning and quick estimates, not for filing. It applies progressive federal brackets to your gross income and a flat state rate, ignoring deductions, credits, FICA, and itemized situations. For paycheck-level breakdowns use the paycheck calculator; for retirement planning, see compound interest.

How to use it

  1. Enter your gross annual income.
  2. Pick your filing status (single, married, or head of household).
  3. Add an optional state tax rate if you want a combined estimate.
  4. Review your federal tax, state tax, and take-home pay.
