How this was calculated
Every rate and threshold above comes from the dataset listed under Data sources on this page, with the official publication it was taken from and the date we retrieved it.
Each line under “What comes out of your pay” opens on its own derivation. Where a country charges by formula rather than by band, that is where the steps are listed, and the marginal rate is measured from the formula itself. The rules are annual; a monthly, two-weekly or weekly figure is the annual one divided by 12, 26 or 52 and rounded to the smallest unit of the currency, which is how a payroll run spreads it.

How this is calculated
Take-home pay is what reaches your bank account after the government's share of your gross salary is withheld, and two kinds of deduction do most of the work in every country here: income tax, charged in progressive bands or by formula, and earnings-based contributions such as Social Security and Medicare in the US, National Insurance in the UK, and the statutory insurances that fund pensions, health care and unemployment cover elsewhere. The calculator applies the published rules for the tax year you choose in three steps: it subtracts the tax-free amount everyone gets to find your taxable income, runs that income through the bands, charging each band's rate only on the slice inside it, and then works out the contributions, which use gross pay and have their own thresholds and caps. Every figure is then shown for the pay period you choose.
taxable incomegross − allowance
income taxΣ (income inside band × band rate)
take-homegross − income tax − contributions
- gross
- the salary before anything is taken off
- allowance
- the standard deduction or personal allowance for your filing status
- band rate
- the rate charged on the income inside that band only
- contributions
- Social Security, Medicare, National Insurance or their local equivalents, charged on gross pay
What this does not include
- US city and county income taxes, which matter in Maryland, New York City, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
- Benefits in kind, company cars and circumstance-specific credits.
- Payslip timing: cumulative tax codes can make one month differ from a twelfth of the year.
- Items settled in an annual return rather than through payroll.
How this calculator works
Take-home pay explained: allowances, bands and contributions. The three steps every country's rules share, $75,000 worked band by band with FICA, what marginal and effective rates mean, and the limits of the model.
This calculator in other countries
Each country has its own rates, thresholds and rules, and its own page that runs the calculator on them and cites the official sources they came from.
