Every article on the Online Paystub blog is written by one of the authors above and checked by a second before it is published. The reviewer goes through the rates, thresholds and examples line by line and recalculates every worked example.
We build each guide on primary sources: IRS publications and forms, the Social Security Administration and the revenue and labor departments of each state. Those sources are linked inside the article so you can check the numbers yourself. When a rate or rule changes, we update the guide and its date.
Looking for a starting point? Our 2026 state income tax rates cover all 50 states. For employers, payroll taxes explained shows what each side pays.
