How the Calculator Works

1. Taxable Income

Subtract pre-tax deductions, then apply W‑4-based federal withholding. No state or local tax is withheld in Texas.SmartAssetGusto

2. FICA Taxes

6.2% for Social Security (up to wage cap) and 1.45% for Medicare. The additional 0.9% Medicare surtax applies for high earners.SmartAsset+1rollbyadp.com+1

3. Net Pay

Gross weekly income minus federal withholding, FICA, and any deductions equals your estimated take-home pay.

Sample Scenario

Let’s walk through an example:

• Hourly Rate: $25/hr
• Hours per Week: 40
• Gross Weekly Pay: $1,000
• Filing Status: Single, no dependents
• Pre-Tax Deductions: 4% 401(k) ($40)

Taxable Income: $1,000 − $40 = $960
Federal Income Tax: Based on W‑4 (approx. $80)
Social Security (6.2%): $62
Medicare (1.45%): $14.50

Estimated Net Pay: ~$1,000 − $80 − $62 − $14.50 − $40 = $803.50

This reflects a typical weekly net paycheck.Gusto+6ADP+6PaycheckCity+6ADP+4rollbyadp.com+4ADP+4ADP+4ADP+4SmartAsset+4SmartAsset
