FAQ

Is this my exact paycheck?

No. Employers use W-4 details, benefits, and local rules we may simplify. Treat this as an educational estimate.

What does “average per pay period” mean?

We estimate annual ordinary income tax, then divide annual net by your pay frequency. It is an annualized average, not employer payroll output or a paycheck stub.

What state coverage is available?

TX and FL are verified for the limited zero-state-income-tax scope. CA, NY, IL, PA, WA, and GA are provisional. Unsupported states show federal + FICA only.

Do you store my salary?
