The tool annualises your pay (gross per period × periods per year), subtracts any pre-tax deductions, then subtracts the 2026 federal standard deduction of $16,100 for single filers ($32,200 joint, $24,150 head of household) and runs the remainder through the seven federal brackets. Social Security is 6.2% on the first $184,500 of 2026 wages; Medicare is 1.45% with an extra 0.9% above $200,000 for single filers.
