Gross to Net Pay Calculator

Gross to Net Pay Definition

Have you ever found yourself wondering how large your next paycheck will be? While you may have a good idea as to what to expect, tax withholding by your employer can make it difficult to know exactly what your pay for any given period may be. Fortunately, by using our gross to net pay calculator, you can instantly determine your paycheck amount by entering some basic information. This can help you to better plan and meet your financial obligations such as paying bills, paying your rent or mortgage, and much more.

Our gross to net pay calculator is easy to use. In order to calculate your net pay, simply enter the following information:

• Your annual income as determined by your contract or hiring agreement with the company for which you work.
• Your filing status based on whether you are single, married, or head of household.
• The frequency with which you are paid, whether it be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or in other increments.
• Your number of allowances.
• Your state’s specific tax percentage on W2 income.
• Your city’s specific tax percentage on W2 income, if applicable.

Upon entering this information, click “calculate” to see your results. You will instantly receive a figure. This is the estimated amount of your paycheck based on the information you entered. If you are unsure about state and city tax rates, simply check out your local and state government websites. Generally, state taxes are around 5% of total income less exemptions, and city taxes–if applicable at all–are even less than that.

• Knowing what to expect from each paycheck is important in planning out your budget each month. This can help you to avoid making late payments, running low on cash at certain times, and being in otherwise stressful financial situations.
• Furthermore, you should always review your pay stubs after you are paid to ensure that your tax withholding is accurate. If your employer is taking out too much, you could be missing out on your paychecks. On the other hand, if your employer is not withholding enough, you could end up owing money come tax time.
