Methodology

Federal income tax uses 2026 IRS brackets and the standard deduction. State tax uses published 2025 rates as a 2026 proxy (most states inflate brackets annually but rates rarely change). Social Security applies up to the 2026 wage base of $176,100. Medicare is 1.45% on all wages plus a 0.9% additional Medicare tax above the threshold.

  • Local income taxes (e.g. NYC, San Francisco) are not modeled.
  • Itemized deductions are not modeled — we apply the standard deduction.
  • State EITC and credits are not modeled.
  • Pre-tax contributions reduce federal taxable income but not FICA wages.
