Frequently asked questions

How accurate is this calculator?
Federal calculations use real 2026 IRS brackets from Rev. Proc. 2025-32 (under OBBBA). State tax uses average top marginal rates (simplified). For exact federal numbers it is highly accurate; state tax is a close estimate. The premium $9 spreadsheet has more granular state tax data.
Is this tax advice?
No. It is a calculator. Consult a licensed CPA or enrolled agent for advice about your situation.
Do I need to sign up to use the web calculator?
No signup. The web calculator is always free.
When are the official 2026 brackets released?
The IRS released 2026 inflation adjustments on October 9, 2025 (Rev. Proc. 2025-32), incorporating OBBBA amendments.
Does it work for self-employed / 1099 income?
Yes — use the dedicated 1099 / self-employment calculator (linked in the footer): it models SE tax on 92.35% of net profit, the deductible employer-equivalent half, and the 20% QBI deduction. The calculator on this page is for W-2 wages.
Why is the calculator bilingual?
There are 60M+ Hispanic-Americans in the US workforce. They earn, pay, save, and plan in two languages every day. We serve them from day 1 with real translations, not auto-translated output.
