Payroll Calculator

Take-home pay is calculated as: Gross Pay → subtract pre-tax deductions → apply income tax → subtract post-tax deductions → Net Pay. This calculator uses the rates you enter, so it is useful for estimating across different countries and scenarios.

Pre-tax deductions are amounts taken out of your gross pay before income tax is calculated. Common examples include 401(k) contributions, HSA contributions, and employer-sponsored health insurance premiums. They reduce your taxable income.

This is a general-purpose calculator. Enter your local income tax rate and any applicable rates for social security, pension, or national insurance contributions. Because tax rules vary widely, always verify with a tax professional or your country's official tax calculator.
