Planning estimate only — not employer exact withholding. Federal tax uses IRS 2026 brackets and FICA follows the SSA wage base. Illinois state tax is estimate-level on this page; local payroll taxes are excluded unless modeled separately. See Sources & methodology for all citations.

How this is calculated

Illinois taxes individual income at a flat rate published by the Illinois Department of Revenue. This page applies that estimate-level state rate on top of 2026 federal brackets and FICA.

Many Illinois municipalities levy a local income tax, especially in the Chicago area. Those local lines are not included here — use this page for statewide planning, not a Chicago exact check.

The result is an estimate for budgeting, not a substitute for your employer's IL-W-4 withholding tables.

Official references are listed on our data sources & methodology page. Compare with the general paycheck calculator to switch states quickly.

Formula

Net pay = gross pay - federal estimate - Illinois state estimate - FICA - pre-tax deductions

Numbers and assumptions are documented on our Sources & methodology page.
