How US take-home pay is calculated

πŸ›οΈ

Federal income tax

Progressive tax with 7 brackets from 10% to 37%. Your effective rate is much lower than the top bracket you hit.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

State income tax

Ranges from 0% (TX, FL, NV etc.) to over 13% in California. 9 states have no state income tax at all.

πŸ‘΄

Social Security (6.2%)

Applies to earnings up to $168,600 in 2024. Both you and your employer each pay 6.2%.

πŸ₯

Medicare (1.45%)

No wage cap. High earners (over $200k single) pay an additional 0.9% on income above the threshold.

πŸ“Š

401(k) contributions

Pre-tax contributions reduce your federal and state taxable income, effectively giving you a tax discount on retirement savings.

πŸ’Š

Health insurance

Employer-sponsored premiums paid pre-tax reduce your taxable income, making employer health plans highly tax-efficient.
