Frequently asked questions

How is take-home pay calculated?

Gross salary minus federal income tax, state or provincial income tax, and payroll contributions (FICA in the US, CPP + EI in Canada). This calculator uses 2025 brackets and standard deductions to estimate an effective rate.

Which US states have no income tax on wages?

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

Which Canadian province has the highest income tax?

Quebec has the highest combined provincial income tax on middle-to-upper wages, followed by Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador. Alberta and the territories are typically the lowest.

Are these numbers exact?

Estimates only. Real paychecks depend on 401(k) or RRSP contributions, health premiums, credits, and local taxes. Use this for directional planning, not tax filing.
