Frequently Asked Questions

Our federal tax calculators use the official IRS tax brackets, standard deductions, and FICA rates for the 2025-2026 tax year. They provide accurate estimates for most taxpayers. However, for complex situations involving itemized deductions, multiple income sources, or special credits, we recommend consulting a tax professional.

The federal income tax calculator estimates your total annual tax liability based on your income, filing status, and deductions. The take-home pay calculator shows your net paycheck after federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) withholdings are deducted from your gross pay.

The tax rates (10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, 37%) typically stay the same, but the income thresholds for each bracket are adjusted annually for inflation. The IRS announces these adjustments in October/November for the following tax year. Standard deductions are also adjusted for inflation each year.

FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) includes Social Security tax (6.2%) and Medicare tax (1.45%), totaling 7.65% of your gross pay. These taxes fund Social Security retirement benefits and Medicare health insurance. Your employer matches this contribution, paying an additional 7.65%.

For self-employment income, use our dedicated Self-Employment Tax Calculator. Self-employed individuals pay both the employee and employer portions of FICA (15.3% total), plus regular federal income tax. You can deduct half of your self-employment tax when calculating adjusted gross income.
