Our Mission
PaycheckWiz was created with a simple goal: help every American worker understand exactly how much money they take home. Too many people are surprised by the gap between their gross salary and their actual bank deposit. We believe financial literacy starts with understanding your paycheck.
What We Offer
Our suite of free calculators covers every aspect of paycheck calculation:
- Paycheck Calculator — our flagship tool covers all 50 states plus Washington D.C. with accurate 2025 federal and state tax brackets
- Salary Calculator — convert annual salary to take-home pay with detailed breakdowns
- Overtime Pay Calculator — calculate time-and-a-half and double-time earnings
- Gross-Up Calculator — find the gross pay needed for a specific net amount
- Bonus Tax Calculator — understand how bonuses are taxed at the 22% supplemental rate
- Hourly Paycheck Calculator — convert hourly wages to net pay
Accuracy and Tax Data
Our calculators use official 2025 tax data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and each state’s department of revenue. We update our tax brackets, standard deductions, Social Security wage base ($176,100 for 2025), and state-specific rates at the beginning of each tax year.
While we strive for accuracy, our calculators provide estimates for educational purposes. They do not account for every possible tax situation, credit, or deduction. For personalized tax advice, consult a qualified tax professional or CPA.
Educational Resources
Beyond our calculators, we publish in-depth guides on paycheck-related topics:
- Payroll vs. Paycheck — understanding the difference
- Post-Tax Deductions — what comes out after taxes
- FIT Taxable Wages — what counts as taxable income
- How to Read a Paycheck — understanding every line item
Privacy and Trust
PaycheckWiz does not collect, store, or transmit any personal financial data. All calculations are performed entirely in your browser. We do not require sign-ups, accounts, or personal information of any kind. Your privacy is fundamental to our service.
