How we calculate it
Federal tax uses the 2026 brackets and the $16,100 single standard deduction. Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 and Medicare is 1.45%. State figures use the latest published single-filer schedules, simplified (standard deduction and personal exemptions only; no credits, phase-outs or city taxes). City taxes, credits and pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) contributions would change your result.
