About us

CalcMyWage exists to answer one deceptively simple question: what is your pay actually worth?

Job offers quote hourly rates. Landlords ask for monthly income. Budgets run on what actually lands in your bank account. Converting between those numbers — and estimating what taxes take out along the way — should not require a spreadsheet or an accounting degree.

What we do

We publish free calculators and reference pages that convert hourly wages to salaries, estimate paychecks after federal and state taxes, and compute overtime, raises and time-and-a-half pay.

Every number on this site is generated from a single, versioned set of 2026 tax parameters:

• Federal income tax brackets and the standard deduction from IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32.
• FICA rates and the Social Security wage base published by the Social Security Administration.
• State income tax rates for the twelve most populous states, compiled from state revenue departments and the Tax Foundation.

The same parameters power both the pre-calculated pages and the interactive calculators, and an automated test suite checks them against hand-verified examples before every update we publish.

What we don't do

We don't give tax, legal or financial advice. Our results are simplified estimates for a single filer taking the standard deduction — a useful baseline, not a substitute for a tax professional or payroll department. We don't ask you to create an account, and the calculators run entirely in your browser: the numbers you type are never sent to our servers.

How this site is funded

The site is free to use and supported by advertising. Ads never change the results of a calculation.

Updates

Tax parameters change every year. We review and refresh all data each January when the IRS, SSA and state agencies publish their annual figures, and we note the tax year on every page. If you spot an error, please contact us — corrections ship fast.
