Built for informed decisions
A calculator that shows its work
Paycheck estimates are only useful when their assumptions are visible. Our first release prioritizes source quality and honest coverage over pretending every edge case is solved.
Versioned tax rules
Federal brackets, deductions, FICA rates, caps, and source dates live beside the calculation code.
Private by default
The calculator needs no name, employer, account, or tax document. Inputs stay in the browser.
Fast static delivery
The core experience is generated as static files and does not wait on a calculation server.
Straight to an answer
Popular lookups
Each page carries a full 2026 breakdown and hands the figures to the calculator, so you can change any assumption.
