How this estimate works

Take-home pay equals gross income minus business expenses, estimated self-employment tax, user-rate federal and state reserves, retirement contribution, and health-insurance expense. Federal and state estimates are kept distinct.

Assumptions

User-entered rates are simple effective-rate planning assumptions.
Retirement and health-insurance entries are treated as cash outflows, not fully modeled tax adjustments.

Limitations

This is a cash-planning estimate. It does not calculate tax brackets, local taxes, credits, deduction eligibility, contribution limits, or the interaction among deductions.

Frequently asked questions

Are these results tax advice?

No. They are simplified educational estimates. Use current official guidance or a qualified professional for decisions.

Are my entries sent anywhere?

No. Calculations run locally in your browser and this site does not submit calculator entries to a server.

Why are results rounded?

Whole-dollar display avoids suggesting precision that a simplified estimate cannot support.
