What is the net salary calculator — take-home pay after taxes?

In short

Net salary = gross salary − federal income tax − state income tax − Social Security (6.2%) − Medicare (1.45%) − other deductions. On a $75,000 salary with 22% federal and 5% state tax, take-home pay is approximately $51,225/year or $4,269/month.

Calculates your annual and monthly net take-home pay after all deductions, plus your effective total tax rate.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1Enter your gross annual salary.
  2. 2Enter your effective federal income tax rate (not your marginal bracket).
  3. 3Enter your state income tax rate.
  4. 4Adjust Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) if needed.
  5. 5Add any other pre-tax deductions (401k contributions, health insurance premiums).

The formula

net salary=gross−federal tax−state tax−SS−Medicare−other
effective rate=total deductionsgross salary×100
Net Salary = G − T; Effective Rate = T ÷ G × 100
G
— Gross salary
T
— Total deductions (all taxes + other)

gives

The result

Net salary = $52,280/year ($4,357/month). Effective total rate = 34.65%.

Common use cases

  • Evaluate job offers on a true take-home basis.
  • Budget monthly spending from actual net income.
  • Compare impact of pre-tax 401k contributions on take-home pay.
  • Negotiate salary with real numbers.

Limitations & assumptions

  • Uses effective (average) tax rates, not the marginal bracket system.
  • Does not account for tax credits, which reduce actual taxes owed.
  • State income tax varies by state — some states have no income tax.
  • Pre-tax deductions like 401k and HSA reduce taxable income and should be modeled separately.
