Important Considerations

  • • This calculator estimates federal + state income tax only. It does not include FICA, local taxes, or other deductions.
  • • Your filing status affects federal brackets and standard deduction. State brackets shown use single-filer thresholds; some states have wider brackets for joint filers, which may result in slightly lower state tax.
  • • Some states allow deductions for federal taxes paid, which is not reflected here.
  • • This is for educational purposes only and is not tax advice.
