Simple Income Tax Estimator
A simplified estimate of federal and state income tax based on common bracket structures. For illustration only — not tax advice.
How this differs from the full income tax calculator
This is a flat-rate, single-bracket estimate meant for a fast back-of-envelope number — useful for a quick paycheck sanity check, not for anything involving multiple brackets, deductions, or credits. Use the full Income Tax Calculator for that level of detail.
When a flat estimate is misleading
The gap between a flat estimate and your real bill grows the more your income spans multiple brackets, or the more deductions and credits you actually qualify for. Treat this number as a rough floor, not a precise figure.
