Estimated Results (per pay period)
This calculator provides estimates only and is not tax, legal or accounting advice. Federal tax uses the 2026 IRS withholding formula (Publication 15-T, Worksheet 1A) assuming a standard Form W-4 with no additional adjustments. Wisconsin state tax uses the official 2026 withholding formula from Wisconsin DOR — Publication W-166 Withholding Tax Guide (max std. deduction used; WI's income-phased deduction not modeled), assuming standard withholding with no additional allowances or credits. It also uses the 2026 Social Security wage base. It assumes Single or Married Filing Jointly status, does not account for local taxes, additional allowances/credits, overtime rules or benefit-specific pre-tax treatment (pre-tax deductions are assumed to reduce wages subject to withholding). Actual withholding depends on your W-4, employer payroll system and individual circumstances. Consult a tax professional or payroll provider for exact figures.
