The plain truth

Useful ballpark. Not a tax return.

This is an annual tax-liability estimate. It uses the 2026 federal standard deduction and tax brackets, then calculates employee Social Security and Medicare taxes from W-2 wages.

It does not handle investment income, self-employment, itemized deductions, AMT, special senior deductions, benefit elections, or the details of state and local tax law. Actual paycheck withholding also depends on your W-4 and payroll history.
