How this is calculated
Enter your monthly gross pay, filing status, and state. The calculator treats monthly income as 12 pay periods per year and runs the same 2026 federal bracket, FICA, and state estimate engine used across TakeHomeBase paycheck tools.
The monthly net line is your estimated take-home for one month. The annual net line multiplies that monthly estimate by 12 for quick yearly planning.
Monthly payroll (12 checks) is different from semimonthly (24 checks) and biweekly (26 checks). Compare schedules in the paycheck calculator if your employer uses a different frequency.
Monthly net = monthly gross - federal estimate - state estimate - FICA; annual net = monthly net × 12
