Faizan
Developer, US Paycheck Calculator
Faizan builds US Paycheck Calculator — a free, state-by-state take-home pay calculator that shows every deduction line by line, instead of hiding the maths behind a single final number.
On the blog he writes about paychecks, taxes and take-home pay in plain language. Every figure is checked against the site's own tax engine and published official sources for the 2026 tax year, so readers can check a number against their own pay stub.
He is not the IRS, a tax firm or a payroll company, and nothing on this site is tax advice. The calculators give close estimates: a real paycheck can still move with a W-4, benefits, garnishments and local taxes. For filing, the official word sits with the IRS and the relevant state tax department.
Questions or a rate that looks wrong? Use the contact form on this site — corrections that check out are folded into the calculator, not argued with.
