How this calculator works
- Your gross salary is reduced by pre-tax contributions (401(k), HSA), then federal income tax is applied using the 2026 brackets and a standard deduction of $16,100.00 (single).
- FICA taxes are calculated on full gross wages: 6.2% Social Security up to the $184,500 wage base plus 1.45% Medicare (0.9% extra above $200k).
- Because Tennessee levies no state income tax, nothing more is withheld at the state level.
- Results are annual-average estimates for planning — actual withholding follows your W-4 and payroll provider.
